It's the most wonderful time of the year and time for a new rendition of one of Austin's favorite old holiday traditions, the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar. Taking over the Palmer Events Center from December 13-21, 2025, stop by to do some holiday shopping or just come and kick back by the stage.
Shop for the perfect gift while enjoying live local music and sips from the full bar onsite. Past year's Bazaar has featured an amazing selection of distinctive gifts; from statement-making collectible fine art to distinctive and modestly-priced stocking stuffers, all from over 200 local and national artists.
While you shop, enjoy stellar live music. Each day of the event will feature three local artists at 1:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The 2025 lineup is set to feature Gina Chavez, Jackie Venson, Shinyribs, THEBROSFRESH, Tomar & the FCs, Gary P. Nunn and so many more. Visit the armadillobazaar.com/2025music/ to check out the full musical lineup.
Tickets for the 2025 event are now on sale on the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar website. If you plan on stopping by for one day, opt for the $12 single-day ticket. If you'd like a little more time to peruse all the vendors, there is a season pass ticket for $50 that allows entry every day of the event. It's also important to note that kids ages 12 and younger receive free admission.
