Pilsen residents looking to support local artisans while enjoying seasonal flavors have a perfect opportunity this weekend at the SAUCED Small Business Saturday Market. Hosted at HOSTE, Pilsen's newest event venue located at 1857 W. 16th Street, the November 29 gathering brings together some of Chicago's most creative independent vendors in a festive atmosphere.

The market will showcase unique gift offerings from businesses including Midwest Nice, Chi-Stee, The Painted Loom, Lovely Little Things, and Wicked Woods & Goods. Visitors can enjoy food from Pies of London and specialty cocktails featuring Apologue spirits while browsing handcrafted items, all with musical accompaniment by DJ Shon Dervis. HOSTE, which opened its 15,000 square-foot flagship location in Pilsen earlier this year, continues to establish itself as a cultural hub in the neighborhood through events like this market.

The free, all-ages event represents a perfect opportunity for Pilsen residents to participate in Small Business Saturday while discovering unique holiday gifts from local creators. With the Día de los Muertos Window Walk continuing along 18th Street through November 29, visitors can make an afternoon of exploring Pilsen's vibrant cultural offerings before or after attending the market.
