Fun Finds for Holiday Shopping and Treats in Brainerd, MN
Interested in that truly unique gift for someone special? Want to shop local and support area artisans this year? Looking for treats and treasures that remind you of holidays from days gone by? Then consider visiting one of the many bazaars, craft shows, and festivals being held this holiday season in Brainerd and Baxter, MN. Bazaars are a unique aspect of Midwestern culture and often associated with churches or nonprofit organizations that are raising money. There is usually food, unique items for sale, and great atmosphere. The bazaars you’ll experience in Minnesota are very different from traditional bazaars in Europe and Asia but the idea is the same. The inspiration for this blog is simply to invite people to experience Minnesota culture and find a unique gift in a place many don’t think to look.
