The Annual Craft & Vendor Pop-up Market
Saturday, August 19, 2023
9 AM until 4 PM
About the Market
The annual Craft & Vendor Pop-up Market is our way of supporting local artisans, makers, and vendors.
The market will include up to 50 participants, artisans, and vendors, live music, delicious food, and craft drinks in a beautiful setting surrounded by shady oaks and cedars. Fun, laid back, relaxing, and entertaining.
Limited Spaces
With so many talented artisans and unique vendors why do we limit our spaces to 50? Why not 100? We believe in being very selective in our choices. We could fill our vendor spots with multiple like vendors, but we don’t feel that is fair to the vendors or the guests.
Instead, we look for unique and interesting items, handmade crafts, and unique products. If there are two jewelry makers at our market, it is because one offers clay, while the other offers metal, for example.
We keep our vendor choices down to 2 like vendors. Unless you wow us with your uniqueness. Then we might slip in a third!
Shopping Experience
Local! Handmade! Unique!
You can expect antiques, upcycled, repurposed, reloved, handmade, crafted, jewelry, home decor, clothing boutiques, wood crafting, fresh bread, gourmet spices, & so much more.
Each seller is set up to accept their own forms of payment and will be charging Illinois sales tax accordingly. Arrangements for large item pick-up or delivery will be made between the seller and buyer.
Clean Porta Potties onsite. Outdoor hand cleaning station available. Picnic Area for snacking.
Food
Due to the increase in traffic this market is seeing, we will not be opening our cafe. Instead, we have decided to bring in food trucks.
Salty Dog: offering coffee, donuts, shaved ice
The House of Brisket: offering mouth-watering BBQ
After the Market
