Love this idea! I've heard folks here and there pitch it back and forth over the past couple of years, and if I recall correctly there have been some groups/companies that have held something similar, but as far as I know no one's gone for a bazaar as a large recurring event. Lots of people I know, myself included, would love to attend, even if only as customers!
I do want to take a moment to point out one possible logistical nightmare. You mentioned thieves. Anytime you open up a public roleplay event to IC strife, conflict, and/or discord, you are running the risk of said discord detracting from the actual event. What happens, for example, if you end up with more prospective thieves on a particular night than prospective merchants? Or what happens if a thief gets caught, so to speak, and the resulting row and ruckus drowns out other merchants?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of robbery, burglary, and skullduggery in general when it comes to roleplay. I just foresee a lot of issues with opening a large, regular public event to such things and openly inviting those things to happen.
Otherwise, I'm seconding Sounsyy's suggestions.
