Sunday, May 31 - Opening Weekend Summer Market 

This winter season has flown by! And with that, come see us this Sunday at our final Winter Market on Main of the season before we open up for the summer / fall season on Sunday, May 31 back at Village Hall - 5127 Oakton St., Skokie. 

The Winter Market on Main will return in 2027. Stay tuned for dates and details coming this fall.

The forecast is calling for springlike temps, which calls for a round of s'mores. Come enjoy a s'more by the fire starting at 9 a.m. while supplies last. 

This Sunday, we welcome several new vendors including The Yellow Duck Truck that will be with us all summer. Stop by for breakfast! Keep a close eye on social media this week for new vendor announcements. 

Now is the time to stock up on all your favorites! Tony's Peanut Butter, Skokie Provisions, and gluten-free baked goods from Swedish Girl will be waiting for you. 

Can't find the vendor that you're looking for? Stop by the green Skokie Farmers' Market tent and Steve or Jennifer will point you in the right direction.

At this Sunday's market, you'll find: Eggs (get there early!), farm fresh meats, apples, fresh herbs, potatoes, microgreens, TONS of baked goods, honey, fresh peanut butter, oils and spices, soups, pot pies, tamales, cheeses, coffee beans and so much more! 

The Winter Market on Main is open rain, snow or sunshine. Come shop 40 vendors that include farmers, artisans and prepared food. 

The Winter Market on Main is a Producers Only Market, meaning everything you purchase is grown or produced directly by the vendor you are purchasing from.

Market parking is prohibited at the CVS parking lot. Your vehicle will be towed by CVS if you park in their parking lot. 

This season is shaping up to be our most exciting yet. With over 80 vendors, the market is bigger, more vibrant, and more full of flavor than ever before. From just-picked fruits and vegetables to irresistible baked goods, high-quality meats and poultry, artisanal cheeses, golden honey, and delicious ready-to-eat treats, there’s truly something for everyone to enjoy.

You’ll see many familiar faces who have been part of our market family for years, alongside a fresh crop of new vendors bringing even more variety and energy. Be sure to check our vendor list often—we’re always updating it so you can plan your perfect Sunday visit.

Rain or shine—and yes, even the occasional surprise snow—the Skokie Farmers’ Market continues to be a beloved weekly tradition. It’s more than a place to shop; it’s where community comes alive, neighbors connect, and Sundays feel a little more special. We can’t wait to see you there!
