Faces Of 2024: Largest Shopping Event

Well, Websters definition certainly fits this couple, founders and owners of The Bodacious Bazaar, Sandra & Larry Gardner.

The Bazaar is now in its 14th year, and it took a bodacious couple to create this event, with over three hundred vendors, crafters, artist, VA wineries, and VA distilleries. The Bazaar is held twice a year Spring and Fall at the beautiful Hampton Roads Convention Center. 

As you talk with them you see how this bodacious couple of 50 years have worked hand in hand to build this event into one of VA largest indoor shopping events.   His willingness to believe in her and support her ideas, then add in her determination, not even COVID could stop them from coming back.

They have created a wonderful three-day shopping extravaganza with unique and quality vendors that is not only fun but gives back to our Coastal VA area. They run a 7-day, 7 city Blood Drive for the Red Cross giving a 3Day pass to donors that week. They will have multiple nonprofits there at the shows that they support. The Va Wineries and Va Distillers are hosted by the Bodacious Bombshells, a local nonprofit. The Bazaar was recognized by the Virginia House of Delegates for its contribution to this area. 

If ever a word fits a couple, it is BODACIOUS and it without a doubt is the perfect word to define this show.

THE BODACIOUS BAZAAR, May 24th, 25th, and 26th.
