Holiday Bazaar NightLife

‘Tis the season to stuff those stockings and shop locally! This week, NightLife’s annual holiday bazaar returns, featuring a merry marketplace of gift-worthy treasures from dozens of local makers and merchants, all curated by SF Bazaar.

Find a little something for every person on your list (naughty or nice!) at this one-stop holiday shop featuring a crafty selection of handmade jewelry, original artwork, ceramics and pottery, apothecary products, stationery, and more.

Then, pay a visit to a pair of live reindeer, who will take up residence in the East Garden as part of the Academy’s ‘Tis the Season for Science exhibit, and gather ‘round for a chat about the science of reindeer.

Grab a pair of headphones and rock out under falling snow flurries at a Silent Disco powered by Silent Storm. Who knew a Silent Night could be so groovy! Plus, take a tour of the Polar Night Sky during a special presentation in the planetarium at 6:30 pm.

At the Project Lab, give the gift of a handmade craft and unleash your creativity with Julia Jane Moore, then learn about the science behind winter animals with the California Wolf Center and Stanford’s Bustamante Lab. Keep your chill with spiked snow cones and wash down a frosty selection of winter beers at bars around the museum.
