Bazaar: Bricolage’s New Annual Fundraiser
Dive into our carnival of delights and be transported to extraordinary new worlds.
Cross the arch and leave the real world behind as you enter Bazaar, Bricolage’s brand new fundraising extravaganza. Set on the phenomenal grounds of Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries (home of Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka and BLY Silver Rum), this festival for the senses offers sensational street food, delectable drinks, spirited carnival games and an entrancing array of micro immersive experiences designed by some of Pittsburgh’s most spectacular artists.
The Rundown
Bazaar takes place on the grounds of Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries and Shaler Industrial Park – 1101 William Flynn Hwy, Old Glenshaw Glass Factory, Glenshaw, PA 15116 – Rain or Shine! The attire of the evening is carnival-inspired, and you can get inspired by this look book put together by Bricolage costume designer Madison Hack. Insider tip: avoid uncomfortable shoes; this is an evening of adventure, after all!
Midway Party
Cavort with a dazzling array of carnival characters like fire breathers, stilt-walkers, and a cavalcade of costumed oddities. Test your balloon popping, dart throwing, ring tossing, and duck wrangling skills at the Bazaar Games Alley and win tickets to unlock extra festival fun. Set against the backdrop of the phenomenal Pennsylvania Pure Distillery grounds, the Midway Party features elevated festival food, beer, wine, and cocktails.
Micro Immersives
Craving something a little more personal? Step into one of our micro immersive pods and get transported to another world. We’re giving local artists, from installation artists to escape room designers to musicians and performers, each a 12’ X 8’ X 8’ storage pod to create unique and intimate encounters devised to tantalize your senses. We won’t tell you what’s inside each pod; we want to see if you’re game.
Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries Lounge
Those who choose to purchase the Grandstand or Center Ring pass will enjoy the Pennsylvania Pure Distilleries Lounge featuring specialty appetizers and cocktails crafted by Boyd & Blair and BLY mixologists. Plus, you’ll receive a behind-the-scenes distillery tour and personalized bottle of vodka!

Accessibility
Bricolage’s space at 937 Liberty Avenue is designed for wheelchair access and features accessible all-gender restrooms. Bricolage also provides accommodations such as audio description and ASL interpretation through our Immersive Companion program.
Bricolage’s immersive experiences are heavily rooted in the senses and often require movement. As a result, not all experiences are suitable for all patrons and we may need to make adjustments to the piece in advance to better suit an individual’s needs. We encourage you to communicate any specific accommodations that will help you better enjoy your time with us with at least one week’s notice if possible. Please give us a call at 412-471-0999 or email Fred at fred@webbricolage.org.
