Road Trip: Bristol Bazaar Milford brings Connecticut's artisans under one roof

So the theme here is a campground experience. So we are the Bristol Bazaar Milford, and we essentially just sell handmade small batch and curated things. Our first location is still in Bristol, still going strong with 85 vendors, and here we can actually have more than that, which is really exciting. When you're coming here you're seeing each space individually curated and built by the small business. You can see everything that they did, all the details, all the signage, the display, everything is all stuff that they've done, and they've really poured their heart and soul into it. The quality of the pieces here is just phenomenal. Shopping small, especially during the holiday season, is huge. It's huge for us, it's huge for our vendors, and it truly could change the trajectory of somebody's business. This is the Aurora Borealis room, and then we have our upside-down camping room. So folks can go in there, they can take their picture and flip it. Essentially you go into each of these rooms and it's a true immersive experience. You can go in just for a few minutes, take some photos, just find some calm. It's really just like a little escape from the sales floor for anyone who's just looking for that. Shopping at the Bristol Bazaar is truly a one-of-a-kind immersive shopping experience. It's unlike anything you'll find anywhere else, both our Bristol location and our Milford location, two totally different experiences, but you're still shopping the same amazing small businesses, handmade small batch curated things that you're just not going to find elsewhere unless you're shopping for them on Etsy or at these different craft shows. But you truly could change the lives of any small business owner with your purchase. At the Bristol Bazaar Milford, on this Road Trip Close to Home, I'm Lori Goliath.
