DGJWC Makers & Merchants Market

Spend a Saturday discovering unique products from talented local makers, artisans, and small businesses while supporting a great cause. For more than 25 years, the Downers Grove Junior Woman's Club hosted the Handmade Market, a beloved holiday tradition showcasing local artisans. As the event has grown to include a wider variety of vendors, it has evolved into the Makers & Merchants Market—celebrating both handcrafted goods and thoughtfully curated products from local businesses throughout the Chicagoland area. Proceeds from the event support the Club's operating expenses, helping us continue serving the Downers Grove community through volunteerism and philanthropy.
