The Dolores Christmas Craft Bazaar will once again usher in the community’s Christmas spirit, providing attendees with a unique way to shop for the holidays.

The bazaar will take place at the Dolores Community Center, 400 Riverside Ave., on Saturday, Dec. 7 and Sunday, Dec. 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Breakfast and lunch will be available for purchase on both Saturday and Sunday.

Santa will also make his way from the North Pole to the community center on Saturday at 11 a.m. for photos.

Each day will include different vendors, according to organizer Lori McGuire, and there area still open slots available for Sunday on a first come, first served basis.

Those who are interested in participating on Sunday can contact McGuire by calling or texting (970) 759-3601.

McGuire shared that the bazaar is a great way for people to visit and socialize in a festive setting.

“I really enjoy craft shows, and you get to see the same people, and you get to see a lot of other people just visiting,” McGuire said. “The social thing is what I really like about it.”
