Hoffman Estates, IL – Holiday shoppers in Hoffman Estates will have a new indoor option this weekend as the village’s Maker’s Market shifts into Poplar Creek Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The move comes just in time for residents searching for last-minute gifts during the final shopping stretch before Christmas.
According to the Village of Hoffman Estates Government, the December market—traditionally held outdoors—has been relocated indoors to offer a more weather-friendly experience for both vendors and attendees. The village said the seasonal market will feature a variety of local makers offering handmade goods, treats and specialty items curated for holiday gifting.
Organizers noted that the market is free to enter, and residents are encouraged to shop, browse and stay to bowl at the host venue, Poplar Creek Bowl, located in Hoffman Estates. The event is sponsored by Delish Cakes and the Hoffman Estates Economic Development team.
Village officials said the shift indoors ensures the market can continue uninterrupted despite colder temperatures and potential winter conditions. The Dec. 21 date also provides an opportunity for vendors to showcase small-business products during a time when local makers traditionally see a boost in foot traffic.
Residents can find more details through the village’s official posting and event link. Additional updates about village-run community gatherings and winter activities are expected throughout the season.
