If you're planning on joining us this Sunday for the very first Crafted at the Oak: Metal, Magic & Mystery Market at Imperial Oak Brewing in Willow Springs, there are a couple of things I want you to know before we get into everything you're going to find.

August is one of my favorite times of the year. Summer is still going strong, the breweries are full of life, artists are bringing some of their best new work, and we get to start sneaking in a little bit of fall and Halloween fun before the season officially arrives.

On Saturday, August 8, from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Streetz Artz Alliance returns to Maplewood Public House, 486 Pennsylvania Ave. in downtown Glen Ellyn, for the second Prism Market. After the success of our inaugural event in June, Maplewood and I agreed that moving the market to a Saturday afternoon would give even more families and shoppers the chance to spend the day with us.

Collectors know that the thrill isn't just about finding something rare—it's about the hunt. Whether it's discovering a first-print comic book, uncovering a long-sought vinyl record, completing a trading card deck, or meeting the artist behind a favorite illustration, every collection has a story.

Whether you're searching for a rare comic book, flipping through crates of vinyl, chasing that elusive trading card, or discovering original artwork from local creators, the hunt begins Saturday, August 1, as the second annual Comics, Cards & Vinyl Market returns to Noon Whistle Brewing from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Looking for something different to do this weekend? The Flurry Artisan Market returns to Hailstorm Brewing Company on Sunday, July 26, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., transforming one of Tinley Park's favorite breweries into a marketplace filled with local artists, handmade goods, great food and craft beer.

On Saturday, July 18, we're transforming Hopvine Brewing Company in Aurora into a gathering place for fantasy fans, tabletop gamers, local artists, and craft beer enthusiasts. It's our first event inspired by the world of Dungeons & Dragons, and judging by the response from our artists, it certainly won't be the last.

There's a moment every July when I realize just how far Summerween has come. What started back in 2023 as a fun little idea — what if we did a Halloween-themed market in the middle of summer? — has turned into one of the South Side's favorite annual traditions. I'm thrilled to say the Fourth Annual Summerween Market is coming back to Soundgrowler Brewing Co. in Tinley Park on Saturday, July 25, 2026, and I genuinely can't wait for you all to see this year's lineup.
