Kankakee, IL – Shoppers looking to support local businesses while staying warm can head downtown next weekend as the Winter Community Market returns to Kankakee with an indoor setup at The Majestic.
According to Downtown Kankakee and the Kankakee Farmers’ Market team, the Winter Community Market will run from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. inside The Majestic, 150 N. Schuyler Avenue, offering a cozy alternative to the traditional outdoor market during the colder months.
The event features a variety of local vendors selling food, handmade goods, and specialty items. Businesses located inside The Majestic will also be open, with several offering specials and pop-up events throughout the morning, organizers said.
The Winter Community Market operates as part of a multi-date indoor series, with additional markets scheduled for February 21 and March 14, allowing residents multiple opportunities to shop local this winter.
As with the Kankakee Farmers’ Market, LINK and EBT benefits are accepted, and the market participates in Link Match through Link Up Illinois, which helps qualifying shoppers stretch their food dollars further when purchasing eligible items. Organizers encourage residents using these benefits to reach out to the Kankakee Farmers’ Market team for more information on how the program works.
The market is hosted in collaboration with Downtown Kankakee, The Majestic, and the Kankakee Farmers’ Market, aiming to keep local commerce active year-round while maintaining accessibility for the community.
