TINLEY PARK, IL — Flipside Brewing and Streetz Artz Alliance are turning up the heat Sunday, Sept. 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m, with the return of the Flipside Bazaar—this time wrapped in the fiery theme of Leather, Ink & Flame.

This curated market brings together sixteen talented artists, each tying their craft into one of the three elemental themes: leather (tactile goods and scents), ink (original art and literature), and flame (candles, coffee, heat, and spice). The result is an intimate yet power-packed bazaar that showcases everything from custom leatherwork and macabre ink art to spicy pickles, hand-poured candles, and freshly roasted coffee at the brewery, 7144 183rd St.

Shoppers can sip craft beer, cocktails, or non-alcoholic options from Flipside Brewing while browsing both indoors and on the patio. Guests hungry for something bold won’t want to miss the Cowabunga Burger, September’s burger of the month—two smash patties with pizza sauce, cupped jalapeño pepperoni, mozzarella, all on a garlic-buttered bun. If smashburgers aren’t your speed, Flipside’s menu offers salads, wings, and classic pub fare. With crisp fall weather rolling in, the brewery’s patio will be the perfect spot to linger after browsing the bazaar.
