How Bazar

How Bazar is literally THEE place in Gainesville. Not only are the folks there lovingly intentional in creating amazing events for the community that fosters an environment for creatives to show their work, they also have created a great third space for folks to just come down, hang out, and meet other cool people in town. I love love love the Bazar, and I'm forever thankful to the folks who made it happen in our community.

Laila and her team are amazing! Such a pleasure to work with! It’s great to work with people who are so amazing at building community

It's beautiful, and a ray of sunshine in a very desolate place. Josh and Noah were so fun to talk to and they even took a picture with us like the nonchalant chill people they are. Love them love this place 20/10 would go back 100 more times. Will go back. Yeah. Just go. Rn. Get in your car. 🖤🖤🖤

The entity that is the How Bazar is truly unique and beautiful in every way. This community of people who host/help/support/fascilitate these events are increasingly impactful in a variety of spaces in Gainesville. Having moved here only a few months ago, the How Bazar has been a space to meet new people, to witness the creatives a part of this community and to simply have fun. I love How Bazar wholeheartedly and intend to continue showing my support through volunteering and my money!! whenever possible. Thank you all How Bazar!!!! Highly recommend!

So funnn the coffee is delicious they have coffee you won't find anywhere else. I tried the banana bread coffee omll! Soo good. The clothes are fire there's also jewelry and art. There's alcohol and a public bathroom. They have a tv and tables in the back like literally anything you could wanna do. Workers are so nice and cool highly recommend going.

On any given night, you'll happen upon something incredible at this worker-owned third space, venue, clothing and accessories shop & bar (now with coffee!) -- think live music of all genres, lit ass djs, massive outdoor markets hosting artisan makers from across the state, skill share workshops, educational offerings, community fundraisers, fashion shows, food popups and more. Definitely the place to be for people wanting to share unique, enriching arts and cultural experiences in a welcoming environment.

The HowBazar has quickly become my favorite place in Gainesville. They emphasize equity and inclusion in every part of their business and create a stronger community through fun events, which give opportunities for small, local businesses like mine! It's amazing to have a place that cares.

Prior to coming to Gainesville, so many people told me that as a queer creative, there wasn’t anything there for me. They couldn’t be more wrong, and How Bazar was the gateway for me to the richness of Gainesville’s creative culture. I’ve made so many memories and friends, and it’s since become one of my third places. The love that the owners and frequenters have for it is palpable, and every time I visit, it feels like stepping into a beautiful community.
