By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Mckinley Park ·

McKinley Park residents will have a new way to support local artisans and businesses this holiday season with the inaugural 'Winter Wonders' Indoor Market scheduled for Saturday, November 29, 2025, at St. Andrew Lutheran Church. The event, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will feature over 25 local vendors offering handcrafted gifts, seasonal treats, and unique holiday decorations just in time for the gift-giving season.

Organized by the McKinley Park Development Council in partnership with the 12th Ward office, this indoor market aims to provide a warm, festive environment where community members can shop locally while escaping Chicago's November chill. Visitors can expect live music from local musicians, holiday-themed refreshments, and family-friendly activities including ornament-making workshops led by neighborhood artists.

"This market represents another opportunity to strengthen our neighborhood economy and showcase the incredible talent within McKinley Park," shared Julia Ramirez, 12th Ward Alderwoman. Community members interested in attending the 'Winter Wonders' Market can find more details on the McKinley Park Development Council's website or by visiting the 12th Ward office. With its central location at 3658 S. Honore Street, the event is easily accessible to residents from throughout the Southwest Side.
