By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Hyde Park · December 25, 2025

Hyde Park residents looking for unique, locally-crafted holiday gifts will have two exceptional opportunities this weekend as the neighborhood hosts back-to-back makers markets at The Promontory. The festivities begin Saturday, December 20, with the Hyde Park Farmers Market Holiday Makers Market from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., featuring seasonal gifts including packaged goods, original art, jewelry, wellness products, and custom gift baskets from local vendors.

The celebration continues Sunday, December 21, when the Hyde Park Handmade Artisan Bazaar returns from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering crafts, fashion, and food in a festive atmosphere complete with cocktails, lounge space, and soulful tunes from DJ Sean Alvarez. These events highlight the neighborhood's vibrant creative community and provide perfect opportunities for last-minute holiday shopping while supporting local small businesses.

Both events will be held at The Promontory (5311 S. Lake Park Ave. W.), creating a weekend-long celebration of local artisanship. The Saturday market will feature special raffles at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., while Sunday's bazaar promises a relaxed shopping experience with a sophisticated ambiance. Community members are encouraged to attend both events to discover the full range of talent Hyde Park's creative entrepreneurs have to offer during this festive season.
