Phase Three Brewing, in collaboration with the Streetz Artz Alliance, will host the return of the Be Mine Bazaar on Sunday, February 1, at its Lake Zurich brewery, located at 932 Donata Court. This free, family-friendly sip-and-shop event runs from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and features a carefully curated mix of handmade goods, specialty foods, art, and one-of-a-kind finds from local artists and makers—many with a Valentine’s-inspired twist.

Guests are invited to browse the indoor market while enjoying Phase Three Brewing’s seasonal winter kitchen menu and a wide selection of craft beverages. The brewery’s current cold-weather offerings include giant pretzels, crispy wings, paninis, Cubano sandwiches, maple butternut squash apple salad, bread pudding, and more. Menu offerings may vary slightly depending on weather conditions. While burgers are currently off the menu for winter, they are expected to return in the spring.

Phase Three will also debut new beer releases during the event, including Mystic Infinity, a Black IPA, and a new P3 Oat Lager. Non-alcoholic options will be available as well, including Untitled Art N/A beers, sodas, juice boxes, and more. Seltzer cocktails will also be featured, with a raspberry Lush seltzer crafted just in time for the market.

“There are many Streetz Artz Alliance favorites returning for this event, including Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, DK Custom Woodwork, Grandma Dan’s Bakery, Self Made Body and Soul, Wanna Pickle Gourmet Foods, and KP’s Candy Factory,” said John Streetz, founder of the Streetz Artz Alliance and co-curator of the market. “We’re also excited to introduce more than 20 artists who are brand new to Phase Three Brewing in Lake Zurich, bringing an entirely fresh mix for returning shoppers.”

This event marks the first market of 2026 for many artists, with vendors debuting brand-new work ranging from playful and sassy to refined and classic. New artists making their Phase Three Lake Zurich debut include Angelic Celestial Whispers, Atlas Art Designs, Cin’s Crafty Creations, Critter Conscious, Gunderstorm Art, HardbackYoYo, Jetibles, Luna’s Loops, Mad Apple Creative, Mama Mick Crafts, LLC, Mamo and Jo, Mixtape Your Life, Orchid & Bone, Pigeon Brain Studios LLC, Small Acts of Tomo, Snackified LLC, Spotted Elephant Ink, Sweet U Candles, That Girl at the Market, Twilight & Sage Co., and Xena Lopez Art.

Fan-favorite D’Mood Kreationz returns with all-new jewelry and apparel, including natural turquoise and electroplated gray AB finished bead bracelets, a Valentine’s statement piece called NOIR featuring Tibetan Agate and Coral Fossil, and a striking two-piece set crafted from genuine Dream Amethyst. The artist has spent the winter months creating new designs specifically for this season.

"Elevate your everyday style with our stunning natural turquoise and electroplated gray AB finished bead bracelets! Each unique piece features a beautiful turquoise focal point, with one accented by a delicate gemstone for that extra touch of sparkle. Perfect for adding a pop of color and natural elegance to any outfit." says D'Mood Kreationz about these pieces.

Mamo and Jo brings a passion for leather craftsmanship, offering 100% handmade and hand-stitched bags crafted from premium leather. Their collection includes totes, handbags, shoulder bags, bag flair, keychains, and cowhides available upon request—each piece completely one of a kind.

Food lovers can awaken their senses with Gigawatt Coffee Roasters’ air-roasted coffee, while FeFe’s Pickles and Peppers offers homemade pickles, peppers, and onions packed with flavor. KP’s Candy Factory will feature an extensive lineup of handcrafted treats, including peanut clusters, buttery toffee, chocolate caramels, candy kabobs, peanut butter balls, s’mores, brownie bites, dark-chocolate-covered dried fruits, trail mix, and caramelized puffed corn.

New-to-this-venue artist Xena Lopez Art creates work using pen, colored pencil, acrylic, and watercolor, blending humor with vulnerability to create relatable scenes on paper. Products include self-published comics and zines, prints, vinyl stickers, apparel, and small accessories.

Spotted Elephant Ink will offer 100% organic, natural, handmade henna tattoos, along with intentional artwork and hand-drawn creations. With more than 20 years of fine art experience, the artist brings a thoughtful and expressive presence to the market.

Orchid & Bone will make its first appearance at Phase Three Brewing Lake Zurich, showcasing handcrafted bone jewelry and art created from ethically foraged materials. An ecologist by trade, the artist uses their knowledge to ensure sustainability and respect for nature. Valentine’s offerings will include The Lovers tarot card prints, rose quartz jewelry, sun catchers, as well as witchy and nature-themed prints, ceramics, and crochet items.

Mixtape Your Life will feature its popular Stranger Things “Butt Stuff” parody necklace—which glows under black light—and matching earrings. This design will be discontinued once current inventory sells out, making this a last-chance opportunity for fans.

"I'll have a small assortment, focusing on the Lovecore and Kawaii styles and bringing more necklaces than I usually do for small events." according to the artist, Mixtape Your Life.

Beyond shopping, many vendors give back to the community. Grandma Dan’s Bakery supports local food banks, Bosco’s All Natural Dog and Cat Treats donates to CFVC for Veterans, Wanna Pickle Gourmet Foods supports Wanna Help Charities, and DK Custom Woodwork contributes to multiple charitable causes. Several artists also donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

A full list of participating artists is available on the event’s Facebook page and is subject to change.
