Crested Butte Bazaar

We’re back for ROUND 2!!! The inaugural Crested Butte Bazaar in June was such a hit that we’re back for another date, Saturday August 29! The Bazaar is a vibrant secondhand & vintage market where vintage style meets laid-back mountain community. Vendors come from across Colorado and beyond-ranging from seasoned antique dealers to locals clearing out attics and garages-creating an ever-changing mix of treasures, from timeless pieces to unexpected gems. Whether you’re a dedicated thrifter, a casual browser, or looking to rehome a few well-loved items of your own, the Bazaar is a welcoming place to discover, connect, and give new life to secondhand goods.
