Spring is one of the best times of year to get outside, support local makers, and spend the day with your friends and family—and this May, Northern Illinois gets one of its most anticipated outdoor events back again.
The 3rd Annual Market in the Park returns on Sunday, May 17th, 2026 from 10 AM – 3 PM at Chamberlain Park in Genoa, Illinois. Hosted in partnership with Hodgepodge Resale & Remodel and the Genoa Township Park District, this outdoor market continues to grow each year—bringing together 100+ vendors, small businesses, handmade makers, and unique local finds.
What to Expect
Market in the Park is designed to be an easygoing, family-friendly day outdoors. Whether you’re shopping for gifts, grabbing a bite to eat, or just looking for something fun to do outside on a spring Sunday, there’s something here for everyone.
Browse a wide variety of vendor booths, including:
- Handmade goods & artisan crafts
- Clothes & boutique items
- Antiques & décor
- Jewelry & accessories
- Local food & treats
- Unique gifts you won’t find in big box stores
With free entry and more than 100 vendors expected, this is one of the largest community markets in the area.
🌿 A Local Tradition That Keeps Growing
Each year, crowds continue to grow as more local shoppers discover how special this event is. It’s more than just a market—it’s a chance to support your neighbors, meet small business owners, and keep your dollars local.
For vendors, it’s also an incredible opportunity. 2026 is expected to be the largest Market in the Park event yet—giving makers and small shops major exposure during peak spring foot traffic.
