It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Where else can you find moosehide beadwork picture frames, nature-inspired ornaments, hand-crafted ivory earrings, spiced low-bush cranberry jams and mustard made from local craft beer? Look no further for all these uncommon presents! Fairbanks artisans offer an abundance of creative products at numerous local gift shows during October, November and December. The holidays are a joyous time of year and below is a rundown of upcoming bazaars, fairs and markets in the Fairbanks area to help make your holiday shopping a breeze.

Jewelry shopping at bazaar

Holiday bazaars and markets are a great way for visitors to get a snapshot of local life in the Far North. Fairbanks and North Pole shopping locales are excellent places to mingle with friendly sourdoughs and also find ingenious, often beautiful, one-of-a-kind keepsakes from your trip to the subarctic. The extraordinarily talented pool of local artisans offers Made-In-Alaska foods, jewelry, artworks, glassware, textiles and Alaska Native keepsakes for locals and visitors to give their friends and family.
