If you are within a 3 hour drive, train trip or camel ride to Philadelphia , I highly recommend you leave the weekend of May 14th open and plan a trip to the City of Brotherly Love . For that is the weekend of the Art Star Craft Bazaar. **
Art Star is an outdoor Art/Craft market run by by Philadelphia ’s Art Star Gallery & Boutique. Over 100 local and national artists take over the Waterfront at Penn’s Landing for this two day event. This is not your typical stuffy craft fair – these artists have a decidedly Indie bent and the crowd is a happy blend of tattooed hipsters, crunchy granola moms and people who know that supporting local Artisans is a great thing to do.
Live music and great food (including Vegan options) round out the day's offerings.

As the world's biggest Smiths fan, I have to love the "Reel Around the Fountain" sampler but they're all great!
