Miami Flea Holiday Bazaar at the A+E District. Need a last-minute gift that's original and freaking cool? Miami Flea Holiday Bazaar has just the thing for your loved ones or your office Secret Santa. The greatest thing about Miami Flea is you're buying local products, not stuff that was mass-produced. And when you need a break from browsing the treasured items, you can munch on food from local restaurants. Master Feathers will spin tunes, and Freddy's Son Trio, Dama Vicke, and Shensi will perform live. Bring the kids for some crafty entertainment too. Even dogs are welcome. You have no excuse to buy that gift on Amazon. 1 p.m. Sunday at 1445 N. Miami Ave., Miami; aedistrictmiami.com. Admission is free.
