Queen Anne-ers have a weekend full of crafty holiday shopping and gifting events ahead of them. In addition to last night’s Holiday Magic festival, there are two timely holiday bazaars happening in the hood this weekend.

The first is the winter addition of Urban Craft Uprising, a showcase of unique handmade items by independent crafters, artists and designers—things that can’t be bought at any big-box store. UCU is the largest indie craft show in Seattle, and is taking place on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free, and the first hundred people through the door both days will receive a free swag bag. Details here.

The second event is the St. Anne Holiday Fair Trade Bazaar. Put on by St. Anne’s Church Social Justice Commission, the holiday bazaar will have gifts, jewelry, chocolate, coffee, baskets and more. The bazaar is happening from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, December 5, at Banchero Hall, 101 W Lee Street. There will be a continental breakfast from 9 a.m. to noon. Suggested Donation is $3/person or $10/family.

Are you an artist? Designer? Clothing maker? Urban Craft Uprising, the largest indie craft gathering in the Pacific Northwest, is looking for vendors for its summer show. Whatever you craft, you could be exactly what they’re looking for!

The summer show will be held on Saturday, July 10 and Sunday, July 11 at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. In the past vendors have brought everything from homemade candles to baby clothes, jewelry and specialty food. Because the Urban Craft Uprising is a juried show, anyone interested in being a vendor must apply by Monday, April 5. Application information here.

The 5th annual Urban Craft Uprising is this weekend, when hundreds of independent designers, artists and crafters and thousands of attendees spend two days relishing in all that is handmade, off-beat and totally unique.

The largest indie craft event in the Pacific Northwest, Uprising will be open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 6 at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall. And the best part, it’s free!

Take a look at the vendor list here. You can read profiles of some of the vendors on their blog. And who knows, you might just find a few items to check off your holiday shopping list.

Urban Craft Uprising, a community of crafters, dedicated to growing the crafting community and showcasing the best indie crafts out there. The annual show (now in its fourth year) is renowned for drawing the most creative, unique, and cream-of-the-crop crafters from around the region-and even some vendors from as far away as Boston and Toronto!

 Urban Craft Uprising’s third annual revolutionary craft fair, held in December of 2007, brought in over 120 vendors from all over the Northwest and over 6,000 fans excited to see fun, fresh, and funky urban crafts. UCU’s phenomenal success has captured the eye of local and national organizations alike.
