 The arrival of December means it's time for holiday shopping!

Browse hand-made works of over 30 vendors including Oh My Ganache Unique Confections, Totes & Toggles, Kettle Art, and more!. Be sure to take advantage of the gift wrapping, coffee, and treats, too! Afterward, check out the Holiday Wine Walk over at Bucktown Center for the Arts. Purchase a wine glass decorated by a Bucktown artist and taste from a selection of six unique wines. Be aware of their extended holiday hours this weekend; they're open on Sunday from noon to 4!
River Music Experience will be hosting the return of songwriter, entertainer, and lyrical storyteller, Pokey LaFarge on Sunday! With a creative mix of early jazz, string ragtime, and folk, this performance has much in store for you. Recently signed to Jack White's record label, Pokey LaFarge is an act you don't want to miss in your own backyard! Tonight, hear a mix of reggae-rock and dub when John Wayne and The Pain take the stage.
