By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Edgewater ·

Edgewater residents looking to escape the winter chill while supporting local businesses will have more options than ever before as the Edgewater Indoor Market returns to Broadway Armory with an expanded format for Winter 2026.

The market will feature over 50 food vendors, artists, and artisans selling prepared foods, baked goods, winter produce, warm drinks, local treats, art, gifts, and more in the cozy confines of the first-floor gymnasium at 5917 N. Broadway. Building on the success of previous years, the 2026 edition will run for five Saturdays from 10am to 2pm, offering even more opportunities for community members to discover neighborhood treasures while staying warm. Entry to the market is free, with vendors offering individually priced goods for purchase and possibly some free samples for visitors to enjoy.

The Broadway Armory, Chicago Park District's largest indoor recreational facility located along Broadway and Thorndale Avenues in Edgewater, provides an ideal setting for this community gathering. Local entrepreneurs interested in showcasing their products can apply now as vendor applications are currently open for the 2026 market season. Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars for this celebration of local talent and follow the Edgewater Chamber of Commerce website for specific dates and additional details as they become available.
