This is an alternative marketplace for all things macabre. For example, you can buy jars with preserved baby aliens. When I first visited the Bazaar of the Bizarre, I thought it was a once only event in Toronto, but I see now that it happens several times a year, and has also spread to Hamilton.
But the most interesting thing about this flea market are the people selling and shopping. Lots of long-haired freaky people and lots of signs.
I’ve also included a few other miscellaneous photos as well as a few of my favourites for the Dogwood52 2019 challenge. Yes, I’m still doing this. No explanations… leaving that up to you.

Wow, Len,
You have such a creative eye…must be that french influence coming out đ
Especially liked:
Week 4 – Serene
Week 14 – Leonard Cohen reincarnated?
Week 16 – Ditto.
Week 7 – Gorgeous photo.
Week 12 Trash – I am waiting to see the rat scamper by or the hand move….
James Street Hamilton – We have eaten at that coffee shop with our nephew – cool place, lots of character in old buildings.
Bazaar of the Bizarre – Looks like an interesting chap – should bring him down to Queen’s Park to shake things up a bit. Tell him to bring a Spiff or two!!
Colonel Samuel – A little hypoglycemic? Actually really like this shot, so creative – it would be neat with some mood lighting.
Week 17 Accidental – Love the colours and the lady in the background…lots to think about in this pic. I can see how you titled it Renaissance. Is she the doll maker?
Roncesvalles Ave – Had to look at this twice then realized the Scouser boys in the background. I had never seen that pic. of them before – neat.
Cheers (aka Week 4 pic)!!
