This event continues to grow each year and with live music and vendors all together - it's the perfect way to enjoy a fall day.

Mistletoe Market
If you want to experience the EPITOME of Christmas magic and a Hallmark movie setting, this market is it. It was started in 2020 as a way to safely bring people together outside when we couldn't gather inside....what started as a one time event is now one of our most beloved and best attended. Santa comes, there's children's activities, everyone's in the holiday (and spending!) spirit and it truly is just a magical day from start to finish. We are so excited to bring new and fun ideas into play! Regardless of the weather (which can be dicey outside in November) - it's always an amazing turnout!

Cupid Carnival
We just LOVE this event! Cupid Carnival is the sweetest Valentine's shindig that features games, crafts, and photo ops for the whole family. It is the perfect opportunity to get out of the house during the dreary winter days and do something fun with the kiddos. This event is so special to us because we donate 100% of ticket sales to Children's Hospital of Illinois. We love throwing a cute party and giving back while doing so!
