Brickmas
Facilitating the seasonal needs of workaholics, procrastinators and others who put holiday gifting on the back burner, Brickmas brings together an assortment of local favorites for last-minute shopping in the Blue Star Arts Complex. Hailed as “the final market of the season,” the two-day event encourages guests to “shop local, support handmade, and get the best gifts San Antonio has to offer” by snapping up screen-printed gems from BarbacoApparel, “chingona” offerings from the “one-stop Chicana stop” VeryThat, all-natural, soy wax candles from Karma Candle Makers, food-inspired polymer clay ornaments and jewelry from Sweet Craft and eclectic wares from 10 other vendors. Beyond satisfying seasonal gifting needs, Brickmas comes complete with a make-and-take ornament table courtesy of Crafthouse SA, a prop-filed holiday photo booth and pan dulce samples from Panifico Bake Shop.
Free, 3-10pm Fri, 9am-1pm Sat, Brick, 108 Blue Star, (210) 262-8653, facebook.com.
