Fri 11/24
Black Friday at Brick
Organized by the ingenious makers behind the homegrown outfits BarbacoApparel (prints, T-shirts, stickers and totes emblazoned with such San Anto-specific characters as Selena and the Donkey Lady), Sweet Craft Jewelry (polymer clay accessories modeled after conchas, cupcakes, corndogs and other edible treats) and VeryThat (ceramic tiles, jewelry, mugs, stickers and T-shirts inspired by Frida Kahlo, lotería and familiar dichos), Black Friday at Brick has one simple request this holiday season: “Shop small y’all.” Likely to offer something of a preview of the third annual Brickmas Holiday Market (December 22 and 23 at Brick), the one-day market brings 20 distinct vendors together under one roof (including Desert Flower Designers, In The Weeds Natural Skin Care, Asher and Gray Designs, Karma Candle Makers and Smokin’ Beards) along with kid-friendly holiday movie screenings (complete with popcorn and hot cocoa) and a dedicated “Mothers’ Room” for nursing and diaper changes.
Free, 10am-6pm, Brick at Blue Star, 108 Blue Star, (210) 262-8653, brickatbluestar.com.
