One more time

This Saturday

The last Edgewater Indoor Market of 2026 is upon us.

10am-2pm this Saturday (3/14), the largest indoor food & gift market on the North Side will be running it back one more time on the 1st floor at Broadway Armory.

70+ vendors. Winter produce. Warm drinks. Baked goods. Prepared meals. Tasty treats. Candles. Plants. Meats. And a whole lot more!

This will be our final market until Edgewater Monday Market returns to the Broadway Armory parking lot in June. So make sure to swing by and stock up on the good stuff from all of your favorite vendors.

If you love Edgewater Indoor Market and want to see more events like this in the future, please come out this weekend to support our local vendors by buying their amazing products.

You can also support Edgewater Chamber of Commerce by donating at Edgewater Chamber's table at the market or on Venmo (@edgewaterchamber)
