%X After Alan Dundes's article entitled "Who are the Folk?" following the 19th century, the changing and evolving folklore has moved away from looking for the folk in rural areas and between uneducated and poorly educated groups of people in the 21st century. Today, researchers of folklore question the environment with interdisciplinary approaches and conduct studies aiming to provide benefits economically, culturally and socially by determining the elements that bring people together. The studies that question the identity of "city" and "urban", which we can call as "urban folklore", and which have been increasing in the last centuries, take its source from time and space. Bazaars constitute one of the basic places of urban people who make up the urban culture. Bazaars, among the shopping and entertainment places, are one of the social spaces where a large number of people living in the same city come together in line with their production and consumption habits. In Turkish culture, the bazaar is a tradition beyond a social space. Nevertheless, there is no study on the bazaars and the tradition continued around the bazaars within the context of folklore. In this article, the bazaars that do not take place very often in the folklore studies will be evaluated theoretically. First, the terminology used for the bazaars will be provided, then the bazaars will be examined in terms of context, structure, scope and function. Thus, the bazaars that are part of everyday life from the villages to the cities will be evaluated from the folkloric perspective and offered to the future studies as a field that has not been studied previously in folklore
