Whoville Comes to Life in Sarasota
Thanks to our friends at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, The Bazaar will be filled with holiday cheer and surprises straight out of Whoville. Expect whimsical touches, fun photo backdrops, and maybe even a little mischief from The Grinch himself. This is one Sarasota holiday event where you truly never know what might happen!
Win Tickets to a Van Wezel Holiday Show 🎟
The Van Wezel team will also be at The Bazaar giving guests the chance to win tickets to their upcoming holiday show. So while you’re shopping, eating, and exploring, you just might score seats to one of Sarasota’s most magical performances of the season.
More Than Just a Holiday Event
When you visit The Bazaar on Apricot & Lime, you’re supporting 40+ local artists, makers, and small businesses. It’s the perfect spot to start your holiday shopping while keeping it local. Plus, you can grab a delicious bite at Hamlet’s Eatery, the permanently parked food truck known for its creative menu.
The Bazaar is already one of the most unique and fun things to do in Sarasota, and with Whoville taking over, it’s going to be extra special.
