An outdoor holiday market with the Community Arts Council of Kankakee County
Bourbonnais, IL – The Village of Bourbonnais, in partnership with the Kankakee County Community Arts Council, is pleased to announce a new holiday experience featuring an outdoor artisan market: Miracle at The Grove. Saturday, December 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., bundle up and enjoy walking in a winter wonderland at The Grove at Goselin Park 700 Main St. NW.
Make your holiday shopping list and check it twice while visiting 30 vendors at the Miracle Market featuring unique, handcrafted treasures. Ice skate the day away next to the Village of Bourbonnais’ 20-foot tree while listening to live Christmas carols from community groups. Satisfy your seasonal appetite with festive offerings from food truck row or indulge in warm beverages around six firepits and outdoor heaters.
