Palmer Events Center

"A great market for high-end holiday shopping. A variety of artists showcase their products and products. Thank goodness, very few commercial products. I visited during off peak hours, comfortable walking even for strollers. Parking is convenient but lines form quickly. Use a hail ride to avoid pedestrians and delays; there is a good drop off area. Admission price is reasonable, almost like an art exhibition if you think it that way."

"Went to the armadillo Christmas bazaar at the events center. It was one of the stops on a scavenger hunt and was super cute. There are lots of stalls with goods, handicrafts and other great gift items. They also have some places to grab a bite to eat, a couple of bars and live music. I didn’t stay long, but it was a cute little place that would be great for buying gifts. There is an admission fee, but I am not sure the amount, as we were provided our tickets."

"Just went there for Market for Makers event and I have been there for different events as well. Big space for events and well organized. Plenty of place to park. Its 10 dollars per parking. I will definately park there to go eat Terry Black's BBQ if I have to cause we know the parking there is very tight."

"The Palmer Event Center was wonderful for the Affordable Art Fair Austin. The way they set up the main room with the rows of white booth spaces is a fantastic display of art and experience. It’s exciting to have a well-known international art fair choose Austin to be a city location. There is great turnout each year and the crowd is always really happy to be here and leaves purchasing a lot of art! It’s a great experience on the vendor and customer side."
