International Bazaar

A celebration of handcrafted creations, dazzling designs and one-of-kind curios over three days.


Forty artists, artisans and vendors converge on the Club for a sale of art, antiques, handmade apparel, bags, handicrafts and much more.

Felipe Fonseca of Makers Co returns for another year with his collection of handmade jewelry.

“Every piece I design is handcrafted solely by me from start to finish,” he says. “So when someone not only buys but truly values and cherishes it, that’s my ultimate joy.”

On the first night, there will also be a special performance from Hogaku Team D, a group of traditional musicians who support various aid efforts, and sake from Ishikawa.

Launching with an evening sale for Members and their guests on November 10, the International Bazaar is Connections’ biggest charitable fundraising event of the year.


Yaesu Ishikawa Terrace & Shamisen Workshop

The popular local specialty shop for Ishikawa Prefecture, Yaesu Ishikawa Terrace, will open a special booth in the Brooklyn Suite at this year's event. Specialty goods from Ishikawa will be available with proceeds supporting the Noto region.

Attendees can also try making a traditional shabo shamisen from cardboard in a hands-on workshop on November 11 from 2pm and 4pm and on November 12 from 11am.
