The Wicker Park Advisory Council is bringing festive cheer to the neighborhood with a special holiday pop-up market at Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club this weekend. The event, scheduled for Saturday, December 18, transforms the tropical-themed venue at 1750 N. Milwaukee Avenue into a winter wonderland featuring local artisans and family-friendly activities.

The event is part of a series of holiday celebrations in the neighborhood, following the successful tree lighting ceremony held earlier this month. Visitors can expect over 15 local vendors offering handcrafted gifts, artisanal food products, and unique holiday decorations. The Royal Palms venue, typically a 21+ establishment, will welcome families throughout the day with special shuffleboard lessons for children, holiday craft stations, and seasonal refreshments. Neighborhood residents are encouraged to support local businesses during this crucial holiday shopping period while enjoying the festive atmosphere that has become a hallmark of Wicker Park's community spirit.
