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

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!

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 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.

The How Bazar is an absolute staple of Gainesville DIY/Creative scene. Through community building and unprecedented work ethic the whole crew involved deserves all the flowers. As a resident of Gainesville for about 8 years I have never seen such collective effort come together so beautifully. The synergy between ideals, public and execution is phenomenon that Gainesville needed. Creating a safe space for various artists and art across the board has given the people of Gainesville something to look forward to ever so often. Always worth mentioning that The How Bazar is a safe space for everyone. Keep on the good work!

First place to ever give me the opportunity to showcase and vend my art, I am forever grateful for everything the How bazar has done for me and the community. Also, the vibes at the events are always amazing, where I feel the safest going out downtown.
