Indy has an array of international markets.

Whether you’re crafting an exorbitant seven-course Chinese Thanksgiving dinner, looking to broaden your culinary horizons, or searching for an ingredient that tastes like home — we hope this guide to international markets helps you map out a delicious meal.

Saraga International Grocery, 3605 Commerical Dr. + 2308 E. Stop 11 Rd.

We’ve told you all about The Stutz’ major redevelopment project — and now the newly revamped space is getting ready to host three seasonal markets for the first time this holiday season.

Shoppers can expect ~40-60 vendors selling bath and body products, jewelry, art, vintage clothing, and specialty foods in the historic building’s new Car Museum, VisionLoft Events, and outdoor courtyard spaces. There will also be special features like holiday decor, vintage cars (1929 Stutz Dual Cowl Phaeton and 1933 Stutz DV32 Hollywood Sedan), photo booths, a break dancing competition, an ugly sweater workshop, and live music.

Barista Parlor, Amelia’s Bakery, and Taqueria de Julieta — all new Stutz ground floor tenants — will be participating in the Winter Markets.

Here are the deets:
