💌 Every good fairy tale has a moment where it feels like the story is ending... only to reveal it’s actually the beginning of a brand new adventure.
Everyone, FAR AND WIDE, it is my honor to introduce you to Bazaar47 — an event venue and third place in Downtown Gainesville. Formerly, How Bazar.
Back in March, my co-owners and I began having hard conversations about the very real possibility of letting How Bazar go completely. But after a lot of reflection… I realized I wasn’t ready for the story to end. So while I’m now the sole owner, it felt incredibly important to honor what all of us built together by sharing How Bazar’s story. And it’s a long one! 😅
👉 Some important things to note:
• Bazaar47 is in the same location | 60 SW 2nd Street, BUT, waiiiitttt til yall see these renovations in here 😮💨
• Rather than being everything all at once, Bazaar47 is transitioning into a proper event venue, with consistent in-house programming + an accessible rental model so others can create their own experiences 🎤
• The grand REOPENING will be a block party on Sat, August 22 🤩 So please mark your calendar!
• 1947 is the year before Al-Nakba (The Catastrophe). Before the mass displacement of Palestinians in 1948, Palestine was thriving agriculturally, artistically, socially, + culturally. Bazaar47 is a reminder of what was, what endures, and the future we continue to work toward, GLOBALLY.
Although we’re a small local space in a small Florida city, I chose the name Bazaar47 to keep the bigger vision in focus.
From Gainesville to the world.
This journey has been wild, beautiful, heartbreaking, and transformative. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Thank you from the bottom, top, and all the sides of my heart to every single person who has walked alongside this project, believed in it, and continues to show up.
A space influenced by Florida and Palestine.
A tropical desert in Downtown Gainesville.
Welcome to Bazaar47 🍊
🫒 مرحباً بِكُمْ في بازاّر ٤٧
