What it is: Chikoko, a local Chico fashion-event/design house founded in 2005, puts on a quirky, creative marketplace called the Bizarre Bazaar. They invite makers who produce unusual, handmade, off-beat artisanal goods and showcase them in a weekend fair setting.

When & where:The event takes place at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico, CA.

Why it’s special:– It’s not your standard craft fair—Chikoko explicitly calls for “bizarre” items and unique work, encouraging originality. – It provides a space for local makers to share their work, meet curious shoppers, and be part of a lively creative community.– For attendees, it’s a chance to discover fun, unexpected treasures—perfect as gifts, conversation pieces, or just a treat for yourself.

Good to know:

– Vendors fill out an application to participate and their items must be handmade and approved.
