For anyone looking to stuff stockings with affordable handmade jewelry and pet treats, the second annual Small Business Saturday Artisan’s Market at Wazee Union has got you covered. More than forty local small businesses and artisans will come together in the heart of the River North Art District to sell their wares and participate in Small Business Saturday, a relatively new reaction to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

“The difference between Wazee Union’s Artisan’s Market and other craft fairs this time of year is that you won’t find giant, unaffordable crafts,” says Wazee organizer Susan Dillon. “The Artisan’s Market is a collaborative effort between artisans and small businesses alike. Whether you’re looking for holiday flower arrangements or hemp and organic clothing, it’s all available in one central location.”

Shop the Artisan’s Market from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Wazee Union, 3501 Wazee Street. For a full list of vendors, artisans and food trucks, visit wazeeunion.net.
Sat., Nov. 29, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., 2014
