Bazar Sábado or Saturday Bazaar is a great way to be a part of the shopping experience in San Antonio. What makes it one of a kind is that it has bits and pieces from all over the world. You have the finest and very traditional art pieces that are typical of the place of their origin. There are items from Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, and other South and Central American countries. What is truly incredible is that there are products from Afghanistan, Morocco, and Egypt and even as far as China. You have leather goods, paintings, bead jewellery, metalwork, wooden objects, and clothes. Held in the winter season, people come in thousands. The fact that Bazar Sábado is around the holiday season should give you a perfect reason to check out this gala. The entry fee is nominal considering there is such a wide array of products on display. What is more, the stub of this entry ticket will gain you a free entry into the Art museum. Every year, there are new artisans and craftsmen taking part in the sale. This event is actually coordinated by volunteers. But one look at the grounds of the West Jones Avenue will convince you that there is nothing amateurish about the sale. In the bazaar building, you would find slightly more expensive and better quality goods. There is also a food and beverages counter to make the process of shopping more enjoyable. The proceeds of the sale go towards the
San Antonio Museum of Art. The people of this city have some very unique ways of promoting and preserving art and culture.
