Annual holiday craft market (handmade goods, artisans, cultural
nonprofits) run by Alliance Française de Seattle. Formerly branded
"European Holiday Market," renamed "Joyeux Bazaar" for 2025.

Investigated 2026-07-05: this is a single annual event with no
consistent date pattern or venue across years — 2024 was Dec 14 at
Good Shepherd Center, 2025 was Dec 6 at Washington Hall (a full week
earlier, and a different building). That rules out a `sources/recurring`
entry (no stable "Nth weekend" schedule to encode) and there's no
ICS/API feed on the org's own site to support a ripper either. Same
category as the previously-rejected West Seattle Summer Fest: single
annual date, unstable pattern, no structured data. Not recommended.
Washington Hall itself (the 2025 venue) is already tracked separately
as `docs/source-candidates/washington-hall.md` (status: blocked, AXS
disabled).
