Green Gift Bazaar
On Small Business Saturday, Nov. 25, 2023, from 10am-4pm
Join us for this 21st Annual event, which will be held at two locations this year to spread out the crowd. Stop by Post Commons (300 Alby St.) and Jacoby Arts Center (627 E. Broadway) from 10am-4pm to find 30 “green” vendors!
Why go through the hassle of Black Friday or risk impersonal customer service of Cyber Monday? Instead, make this season’s gift giving a fun adventure by shopping with friendly local artists and independent businesses in your hometown historic district.
We partner with Sierra Club Illinois on this event which features a variety of environmentally-friendly gift ideas which are made from recycled/upcycled materials, Fair Trade, or hand crafted in the USA. Plan a day of shopping with your friends to celebrate “Small Business Saturday” and pick up unique, locally-made, eco-friendly gifts for everyone on your list, including herbal products, jewelry, art, ornaments, houseplants, clothing, and so much more!
There is no entry fee to shop at the Green Gift Bazaar, and we will also provide shoppers with sale info from downtown retailers and restaurants to encourage shopping local – don’t miss this special occasion to share the historic downtown shopping & dining experience with your loved ones this holiday season.
