TINLEY PARK, IL — A local favorite in sip and shop events is back in time for holiday gifting.

The Flurry Artisan Market is a holiday shopping experience designed for those who prefer originality over mass-produced gifts. Visitors can explore an expertly curated mix of handmade jewelry, cozy winter apparel, festive décor, candles, soaps, art, hot sauces, sweets, pickles, plants, and more — all from independent artists and small businesses across Chicagoland.

The event is coming to Hailstorm Brewing, 8060 186th St., Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

From ornaments and home goods to caramel apples, roasted nuts, and locally roasted coffee, this year’s Flurry offers something for everyone on your list (and maybe a few treats for yourself).

Sip one of Hailstorm’s award-winning craft beers, grab a bite from the Scratchmade Kitchen, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon of holiday shopping that supports local artists instead of big-box retailers.
