The second annual Frosty Affair Holiday Market featuring local businesses will take place from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5 at The Nineteenth Century Charitable Association at 178 Forest Ave. #1 in Oak Park.
The event is intended to bring the community together for a “magical holiday experience,” according to the event description online. The market will feature shopping, entertainment and other festive activities.
Local retailers will have products and services for sale. Attendees can then get their holiday gifts complimentarily wrapped. Kids might enjoy sitting on Santa’s lap, telling him their holiday wishes and taking a photo.
Others might delight in watching performances from local musicians, carolers and dancers during the Frosty Affair. A 360 bar featuring wine and beer, sponsored by Great American Exteriors, will also be available.
Those interested in attending can pre-purchase a pack of five discounted drinks for $40. Individual drink tickets will be available for $10 each at the event.
Vendors can arrive at 1:30 p.m. to begin setting up booths. A list of participating businesses, including Candycopia, Purple Sun Arts and Rachel Renee Jewelry, can be found online.
Registration details including standard, enhanced or deluxe registration for interested vendors can be found on the Oak Park River Forest Chamber of Commerce website.
