Oak Park has announced the Holiday Housewalk and Market to begin the December celebrations.
The Housewalk is a popular annual tradition that’s been going on since 1998 as a fundraiser supporting IWS Children’s Clinic.
The event is a two-part activity, starting with the Holiday Market. The market features 23 local vendors with their arts and crafts for sale. Vendors at events like this may utilize business card printing to hand out cards to customers who might want to purchase items at a later date.
The Housewalk includes five homes, located in Oak Park and the surrounding areas. One of the homes, featured in House Beautiful, is a pink Victorian with white trim. The house will be decorated with multiple trees. Another home on the tour was built by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1896 and features numerous family heirlooms.
The event will be held on Friday, December 4, and Saturday, December 5. The Holiday Market runs from 3-7 PM on Friday and 10 AM-4 PM on Saturday. The Housewalk will be available between 5 and 9 PM on Friday and between 1 and 5 PM on Saturday. Prices for the Holiday Housewalk are $70 pre-booked or $75 upon arrival. The market location is 28 Madison Street in Oak Park on the second level of the IWS Children’s Clinic. Tickets to the Housewalk can be purchased on the first floor.
