The event, an initiative of Rogers Park's state-designated cultural district Camino Clark, will showcase a diverse range of vendors offering handmade crafts and products. Participating artisans include A Versatile You, Aori Botanical, Coffee and Ink, El Shér, and several others representing the neighborhood's rich cultural diversity. Attendees can also enjoy complimentary services including a free gift-wrapping station courtesy of St. Jerome Church and traditional Mexican Ponche (hot fruit punch) donated by local restaurant La Casa Vieja.
