Market Shop Holiday Market Brings Local Artisans to Streeterville This Weekend

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Streeterville · December 14, 2025

Streeterville residents looking for unique holiday gifts can explore the work of over 50 local artisans at the Market Shop Holiday Market taking place this weekend at Chez Venue on 247 E Ontario Street. The seasonal community event, running on Saturday, December 13, brings together small businesses, makers, and independent artisans from across Chicago, offering neighborhood shoppers a chance to support local creators just in time for the holiday season.

The market coincides with several other cultural events in the neighborhood, including the ongoing exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. The MCA's 'Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind,' one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of the trailblazing artist's work, continues to draw visitors to Streeterville, enhancing the neighborhood's reputation as a cultural destination during the winter months.

Residents are encouraged to make a day of exploring the neighborhood's seasonal offerings, with several Streeterville restaurants, including The Capital Grille and The Palm Restaurant, participating in the upcoming Chicago Restaurant Week 2026. Reservations for the popular dining event, which showcases Chicago's acclaimed culinary scene through special prix fixe menus, opened earlier this week.
