Be among the first to experience the Marketplace at our Soft Launch events at the park, 28W164 Warrenville Road:
Saturday, October 25 · 12:00–4:00 p.m. Temporary market tents will be set up along a cement patio area, and two vendor units will be installed on the property.
Saturday, November 1 · 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. The event will include a ribbon cutting ceremony and a craft fair. During the celebration, the City’s Tourism and Arts Commission will announce the official name for the Marketplace.
The Marketplace is designed to give vendors more than a place to sell goods. Plans include mentorship opportunities and partnerships with local financial institutions to help entrepreneurs learn how to be a successful retailer and eventually move their way from the market to a more permanent space.
The project is supported by a $25,000 grant from DuPage County’s Member Initiative Program, which will reimburse the City for start-up costs.

Future ideas for the site include a pavilion for dining and a flex pavilion that could host classes, small concerts, community activities, or even morning yoga.
