Village of Lincolnwood, Illinois - Recreation Upcoming Events

The market will run every Thursday through September 25, from the hours of 8 am - 1 pm. It will be located between Village Hall and the Police Department and near the semi-circle drive on Lincoln Avenue. This location was chosen because of its visibility and the accessibility of parking behind Village Hall. Care will be given to allow for passage of pedestrians along Lincoln Avenue and those entering the buildings. The goal of the Lincolnwood Farmers Market is to offer an event that brings residents and the business community together, while offering the opportunity for individuals living and working in Lincolnwood to buy fresh produce and natural products. Vendors will set up displays that may include fruits, vegetables, bread and pastries, cheese, flowers and honey. Further information may be obtained by calling the Recreation Department at (847) 677-9740.
