Your A-List: Best Sale
What will be waiting under the tree for Austinites this season? For many loved ones, a singular gift from one of the city’s special-event markets. These sales may push newly crafted objects, or vintage prizes. Some also dish out food, drink, entertainment and loads of people-watching. A few benefit charities as well.One of the city’s older and quirkier traditions, the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar, won the A-List readers poll for Best Sale with 23 percent of the vote. This year, it returns to the Austin Convention Center, which doesn’t exactly match the sale’s funky character.
No. 2 was the City-Wide Garage Sale with 21 percent; No. 3 Four Hands Warehouse Sale at 15 percent; and No. 4 A Christmas Affair with 11 percent. Assembled in the middle of the pack were Blue Genie Christmas Bazaar, Settlement Home Garage Sale and Buffalo Exchange Sidewalk Sale.
Also in the running: Austin Record Convention, Service Menswear 50-Percent-Off Sale and Literacy Austin Bookfest.
