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.

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.

TINLEY PARK, IL – Pets, Beer, Tacos and Art returns to Soundgrowler Brewing this Saturday, June 20, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. for a free, family-friendly artisan market. More than 50 artists, pet businesses, service providers, and community organizations are expected to participate.
