Grant Park, IL – Families in Grant Park and across Kankakee County are expected to gather Sunday, May 24, 2026, as Kimberly’s Artisan Market launches its opening day with a kid-focused attraction aimed at boosting turnout.
According to event organizers, a bounce house will be set up from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Grant Park Police Department parking lot, located at 100 E. Taylor St. The addition is designed to provide entertainment for children while parents browse local vendors during the market’s kickoff event.
The market, organized by Kimberly’s Artisan Market, is open to the public and expected to draw residents from nearby communities, including Bradley, Bourbonnais, and the greater Kankakee area. Organizers said the bounce house setup includes safety oversight, with an attendant present throughout the event to ensure proper use.
Event details indicate the bounce house was provided through a local rental partnership, with equipment and supervision arranged to maintain a controlled and family-friendly environment. Parents are advised that a waiver may be required for children participating in the activity.
The three-hour event marks the start of the market’s seasonal run and aims to highlight local artisans, small businesses, and community engagement. While the bounce house is expected to be a central draw for families, vendors and organizers emphasize the broader goal of supporting local commerce.
Attendees can enter freely, and no ticket is required. Parking will be available on-site, though visitors are encouraged to arrive early due to limited space during peak hours.
