Irving Park residents looking for unique holiday gifts will have a new local shopping destination this weekend as Athletic Field Park hosts its first Winter Artisan Market. The event, taking place at 3945 N Springfield Ave, will feature local farmers, quality meats, sweet treats, and handmade gifts from neighborhood artisans alongside live music and family-friendly activities.

The market represents a collaborative effort between several Irving Park businesses and community organizations, including Extensions Dance Center and Our Mutual City Coffee Co. Extensions will provide special holiday performances throughout the day, while Stephanie Welter-Krause, founder of Swelter Coffee, will offer tastings of her artisan coffee beans to warm shoppers as they browse the vendor booths.
