Holiday Shopping Spree
Saturday, November 22nd - time: 10 am - 5 pm
If you consider shopping a competitive sport, better lace up your stiletto boots. The 37th-annual Gazebo Holiday Market, hosted by the Junior League of Chicago, is set to take over the River East Art Center. Featuring an array of clothing, accessories, jewelry, stationery, artwork and more by more than 40 local and national designers, the Gazebo Holiday Market is an annual must-shop op for many Chicagoans.
But because the Gazebo Holiday Market is as much a social event as it is about the shopping, there will be a Bill Blass New York-sponsored lounge, as well as mini-makeovers from Trish McEvoy. A bevy of hors d'oeuvres and cocktails will fuel the crowd for even more retail therapy.
Admission to the Gazebo Holiday Market is ONLY $10, with proceeds benefitting the Junior League's various community-based programs.
Advance tickets are available on the Junior League's Website.
