Edgewater Indoor Market Expands to Historic Size with Over 50 Vendors for December Launch

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Edgewater · December 1, 2025

Edgewater residents will have a warm escape from winter's chill as the Edgewater Indoor Market returns significantly expanded for the 2026 season, now featuring over 50 local vendors in the Broadway Armory's first-floor gymnasium. The popular community event, scheduled to begin in early December, will run for five Saturdays from 10am to 2pm, offering everything from prepared foods and baked goods to winter produce, warm drinks, local treats, art, and unique gifts.

The expansion marks a substantial growth from previous markets, which typically hosted around 30 vendors on the armory's second floor. "Edgewater Indoor Market is BACK and BIGGER than ever in Winter 2026!" announces the Edgewater Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the event at 5917 N. Broadway. The market has become a beloved neighborhood tradition, previously attracting hundreds of shoppers in its first hour alone when held in January 2025.

Local entrepreneurs interested in joining the expanded vendor lineup can apply now as applications are currently open for the 2026 season. Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars for this free community event that highlights local talent while providing a cozy shopping experience during the winter months.
