America’s Largest Christmas Bazaar

What: 1000+ booths of holiday cheer
Where: Portland Expo Center - see www.expochristmasbazaar.com
When: Two weekends following Thanksgiving - next dates are Friday-Sunday, December 2-4
Insider tip: Don’t pay for parking! You can park off-site and take a shuttle or if you’re not afraid of walking, park on the backside of the expo center, near the wetland park

Info: If jostling with lots of people to sample gourmet foods, fight for the best deals and buy more holiday crap than you ever knew you needed is your idea of a good time, then don’t miss America’s Largest Christmas Bazaar.

This expo-held event features more than 1000 booths of fun. More than 300 of them feature artisans, but the rest, well, seem to all be hawking the same thing: decorative Christmas items, food goodies, makeup and scrunchy scarves.

The whole thing can be walked through in about an hour and a half if you speed and don’t spend too much time lingering over the dips or wine tastings. Although much of the stuff is cheap crap that you can find at any discount store, a few specialty vendors make visiting worthwhile if you don’t want to brave the cool temps at the Saturday Market.
