North Center Launches 'Fireside Market' Winter Series at The Northman Building

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/North Center · January 7, 2026

The Northcenter Chamber of Commerce has announced an exciting new winter farmers market series that will transform the recently renovated former Northman building into a vibrant community hub during the colder months. The 'Fireside Market' will feature local vendors, seasonal produce, and artisanal goods, addressing North Center residents' desire for year-round access to locally sourced products.

The market will not only showcase fresh produce and artisanal foods but will also participate in the Link Match program, making healthy options more accessible for all community members. Through this initiative, SNAP benefits go further at participating farmers markets, supporting both local families and producers while strengthening the neighborhood's food system.

"The Chamber is here for you! Whether you're a neighborhood business owner or a Northcenter resident, we exist to help grow your business and strengthen our community," the Northcenter Chamber stated on their website. "There's a little something for everyone in Northcenter. Besides diverse dining, lively bars, and unique shops, the Chamber also hosts a packed calendar of family-friendly events to connect you with the community." Residents interested in participating as vendors, sponsors, or performers can submit applications through the Chamber's website.
