"It's important to support your local businesses this time of year. They're the ones that pay local musicians to play in their bars and they're the ones that support local charities and hire local artists and artisans and sponsor local events," says Hannah Withers, who owns Little Bread Company.
Block Street shop owners estimate over 2,000 people came out and attended the bazaar Sunday afternoon.
