UPDATE: The final day of the 2025 Wicker Park farmer’s market has arrived, bringing a festive Halloween celebration to the heart of Chicago. This exciting event unfolded on October 29, 2025, just days before Halloween, as the community embraced the spooky spirit with a variety of activities.
Organized by the Wicker Park-Bucktown Chamber of Commerce, the Halloween-themed market featured lively festivities including trick-or-treating, costume contests, scavenger hunts, and face painting. Families and visitors flocked to the market near Damen and Schiller to enjoy the seasonal festivities and support local vendors.
In a move to prioritize health, Walgreens hosted a free flu shot and COVID vaccine clinic during the event, encouraging attendees to take advantage of the healthcare services available. This initiative is crucial as winter approaches, and the community aims to stay healthy.
Parking around the market is expected to be challenging, and organizers are advising attendees to arrive early to secure a spot. The market’s lively atmosphere, combined with the Halloween theme, made for an engaging final event of the season.
As the 2025 market season concludes, locals are reminded of the vital role these gatherings play in fostering community spirit and supporting local agriculture. The Wicker Park farmer’s market will return next year, but for now, the community is urged to soak in the final festive moments of the season.
Stay tuned for more updates and community events as we head into the winter months!
