47th Christmas Bazaar in McLean, VA

Our annual St. John the Beloved Christmas Bazaar is a neighborhood favorite for indoor holiday shopping for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. The St. John the Beloved gymnasium provides an excellent venue for vendors and shoppers alike, along with a full day of entertainment and family fun. We expect 40+ vendors, both indoor and outdoor. New this year: Santa's Elf is arriving 11:30 AM, come and say hello and get your candy! Santa will be visiting from 12:30–2:30 PM, and guests can enjoy hourly live music throughout the day. Stop by the Knights' Café for brats, hot dogs, and BBQ, or visit the Women's Council bake sale for home pies and treats, and stop by St Peter Claver Society's coffee corner. Don't miss our BIG PRIZE Silent Auction, participation is free. The children have their own dedicated fun Kid's corner next to Santa's chair: writing letters to Santa, drawing and a kid's raffle - Guess How Many to win great prizes! A face painter will be there 12-3 PM. Kid's raffle winners: drawing on the main stage at 3:40 PM. The McLean High School Orchestra will perform at noon, followed by the St. John Academy Children's Choir at 1:00 PM. Come early and grab a seat! At 3:00 PM, celebrity magician Michael Chamberlain will present a 30-minute magic show that's fun for all ages. The Silent Auction drawing will take place at 3:40 PM, immediately following the Magic show. If you're unable to stay, we'll make arrangements to get your prize to you afterward. Our Silent Auction includes several beautiful and unique items, including a 10-inch Our Lady of Fatima statue, 12 bottles of Rappahonneck Cellars wine and original Peruvian artwork. Spend a fun and cozy day browsing unique gifts, enjoying great food, listening to music, and connecting with friends and neighbors in the community. Did someone say candy? Santa will definitely be bringing lots for the little ones!
