Shop Local at Highland Park’s New Indoor Winter Farmers Market

This winter, the Ravinia Farmers Market and Wayfarer Theaters are teaming up to launch the first-ever indoor Winter Ravinia Farmers Market beginning this month in downtown Highland Park. Hosted at Wayfarer Theaters, the market will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on December 14 and 15 and December 21 and 22, and continues on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. from January 11 through April 26. This family-friendly event offers an indoor space to support local farmers and artisans, take in a matinee movie and enjoy Highland Park’s community spirit.

Shoppers can choose from a range of local and organic produce from two area farms and purchase meats, cheese, eggs, honey, teas, handmade goods and more from a variety of vendors. Artisanal foods and bakery items, plus ready-to-eat options from the market’s food court, round out the setting for winter market-goers.

“This new indoor season provides area residents with more access to high-quality, responsibly sourced foods and products, and supports our economy by highlighting the value of shopping local and connecting with farmers and other small businesses,” says Market Manager Ed Kugler.

Cost: Admission and parking are free. Location: Wayfarer Theaters, 1850 2nd St., Highland Park. For more information, visit RaviniaFarmersMarket.com or WayfarerTheaters.com. For vendor inquiries, call Kugler at 847-579-9080 or email [email protected].
