We are pleased to announce the return of the ever-popular Swap ‘n Shop to the Bazaar. Here’s what you need to know:
Shopping is always a big part of the Annual Bazaar (and belly dancers love to shop)! We will be accepting applications for vendors via the online application form (click here) through 1/31/2025. Due to the increased space available for the vendor village, we are allowing vendors to request up to 4 spaces this year! Accepted vendors will receive a free vendor pass, allowing complete access to the event, and announcement on social media.
Booth size is 8′ x 8′. Cost is $75 ($50 for individual members and $5 for professional members) per booth space.
Volunteers are the backbone of a successful Bazaar. If you’d like to help out, we’d love to have you! There are many positions available including: Swap ‘n Shop clerk, Vendor assistant, set up, tear down, and more! Volunteers will receive a special thank you gift.
This year we’re using SignUp.com to organize our upcoming volunteer spots. Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:
Note: SignUp does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address, please contact us and we can sign you up manually.
We’re excited to be holding the 2025 Annual Bazaar at the Wyndham Hotel – Indianapolis Airport! Located at 2544 Executive Drive on the west side of Indy, this facility will provide us with more teaching space, more vending space, and an amazing performance venue! In fact, we will be offering a cash bar during the show this year! They also offer a very good onsite restaurant called “Flights” and a convenience/snack store. Check out all they have to offer here.
If you are looking to spend the night in Indy before or after the Bazaar, we recommend staying right at the Wyndham! That way, after an exhausting day of belly dance madness, you can just take the elevator to your room.

It takes a village to pull off a great event like the Bazaar, and you can play your part by becoming a corporate or individual sponsor. Corporate sponsors are provided with an excellent avenue to expand awareness of their business and services, and to reach a very specific segment of customers. Companies already vending at the event can even leverage their sponsorship to increase sales. Corporate sponsors receive recognition and exposure on multiple platforms depending on the level of sponsorship. Some levels even include tickets to the event. Read about the corporate sponsorship opportunities here.
We also welcome donations from individual members and belly dance supporters. By becoming an individual sponsor you will contribute to the success of Indiana’s largest single-day belly dance festival. You will also receive public recognition for your gift (note that you can choose to remain anonymous or dedicate your sponsorship), and may receive free tickets (depending on your individual sponsorship level). Read all about individual sponsorship opportunities here.
Please contact us with any questions or to make your donation.

What’s all this stuff I’m seeing about “individual” and “professional” members?
The INBC membership structure is changing effective for renewal and join dates in 2025. When you renew or join in 2025, you will be able to choose from 3 levels of membership: supporter, individual, or professional. Each level comes with its own benefits (see our Membership Restructure page for complete details). If you renewed or joined in 2024, you will remain an individual level member until your 2025 renewal date.
INBC (formerly ISAMETD) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of the art of belly dance throughout Indiana and the surrounding areas
