By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/West Rogers Park · November 20, 2025

West Rogers Park residents will have a festive opportunity to support local artisans at the upcoming Holiday Mercadito Market on Saturday, November 22, 2025. The vibrant craft fair will be hosted at the Rogers Park Business Alliance's GROW/PROGRESANDO entrepreneurial training center at 7056 N. Clark Street from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The market is part of a series of cultural celebrations within Camino Clark, West Rogers Park's state-designated Mexican Cultural District that spans approximately two miles from Howard Street to Devon Avenue. Visitors can explore handmade crafts and unique products from diverse vendors while enjoying complimentary amenities including a free gift-wrapping station (limited to two gifts per person) courtesy of St. Jerome Church and traditional Ponche (a warm fruit punch) donated by local business La Casa Vieja.

This celebration highlights the neighborhood's ongoing commitment to supporting small businesses and showcasing the area's rich cultural diversity. The Holiday Mercadito comes just before the popular annual 'Live Love Shop Rogers Park' rebate program, which will run through December 31, offering residents an opportunity to earn up to $75 in rebates while supporting local businesses during the holiday season.
