Baltimore, MD—Here are 7 things you need to know about Friends School’s—and Baltimore’s!—family-friendly holiday bazaar:

1. Come one, come all! This popular holiday shopping event—one of the Parents Association’s biggest fundraisers—is open to the public. Admission is $5 (children under 18 are free). Tell your friends!

1. Jewelry, glassware and textiles…oh my!More than 70 regional artisans, crafters & vendors featuring unique handcrafted items. New this year: personalized stationery; order now, receive in time for the holidays.

1. Our popular Elf Booth is the antidote to holiday shopping stress. Little ones will love making handmade ornaments and holiday gifts. You’ll love the freedom to browse without hearing a chorus of “I’m sooo bored!”

1. Hungry? Milt’s Catering’s got you covered with hot, fresh grill-fare plus veggie options. Don’t forget to stop by our Gourmet-to-Go booth to pick up a homemade pie for Thanksgiving.

1. Silent auction, featuring the popular themed gift baskets by grade, vacation get-aways, and a range of merchandise, services and gift certificates from area shops, salons and restaurants, including Paper Moon Diner and Woodberry Kitchen.
