There is something just fun and magical about Christmas time at the Jersey Shore.

Sure, the temperatures are dropping, and we aren't wearing bathing suits on the beach, but being able to walk down the boardwalk, with the sea air hitting your face while you Christmas shop, is just such a fun experience.

Especially as someone who grew up visiting the Jersey Shore as a kid, and now lives here full time. It's just amazing.

And if you're looking for a really fun, really cool holiday experience, then I highly reccomend you check out the Holiday Bazaar happening in Asbury Park.

When Does The Asbury Bazar Take Place This Year?

Each weekend through December 21st, you can check out tons of local vendors, so you can snag the perfect holiday gift for someone.

Located in the Grand Arcade of Convention Hall, this bazaar does not disappoint, and that's coming from someone who hates shopping.

The Stone Pony pop-up shop was a ton of fun to look around in, plus there's a toy drive, pictures with Santa, and it's even dog-friendly, so you can bring your four-legged friend!

This doesn't quite capture the imenseness of the Bazaar, but here are a few videos that I snagged during our trip last weekend.

Open Fridays from 3-8, and then 12-5 on Saturday and Sunday, this upcoming weekend is the last weekend that you can check out the Bazar, and if you need a good last-minute gift for someone, this is the perfect day trip to make it happen.
