Pencil This In: Renegade Craft Fair

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Dec 5, 2014 6:30PM

The holiday shopping season is upon us with several markets around town and one we noted earlier this week is the Renegade Craft Fair, which moves to brand spanking new digs at the Bridgeport Art Center's Skyline loft, with one of the best views of the downtown skyline you'll ever see. If you're procrastinating on your holiday shopping, now would be an ideal opportunity to rectify that.

Intelligentsia Coffee will have a coffee bar there serving coffee, espresso drinks and hot chocolate. Honest Tea will provide teas for those of you who don't want a cup of joe. Hard drinks will be provided by Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar, while Dia de los Tamales, Black Dog Gelato and Puffs of Doom will have noshes available for sale. DJs from Reckless Records and CHIRP Radio will spin holiday tunes to set the mood for you to shop from dozens of artisans. The fair runs from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Dec. 6-7. (1200 W. 35th St.)
