Bead Bazaar 2016

This year’s Bead Bazaar will take place on Saturday and Sunday, August 6 and 7, at the Scottish Rite Center in Mission Valley!

The annual Bead Bazaar is our largest fundraiser, and 2016 marks the 17th year that we have put on the event.  Proceeds from the Bazaar help the SDBS support many activities throughout the year, including speakers and classes, community outreach, and our affiliation with the Mingei International Museum. Our Bazaar brings together finished jewelry from unique jewelry artists and vendors that provide quality merchandise for all your jewelry-making needs.
