For those who prefer choosing gifts directly from the people who create them, the Chicago Artisan Market is bringing several fall and holiday shopping events to indoor venues across the city.
The first event takes place on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Morgan MFG, located at 401 N. Morgan Street. The market will return to the same venue on December 13.
Discover Chicago’s Local Creators
The market brings together independent makers, small businesses and creative entrepreneurs from Chicago and the surrounding region, showcasing a diverse selection of food, fashion, art and home goods.
Visitors can meet the vendors, learn about their creative processes and discover unique products that are not typically found in traditional retail stores.
It is an ideal weekend outing for anyone who enjoys handmade goods, looking for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts or simply spending time exploring local creativity with friends and family.
