If you’ve never been, Flurry is a one-day-only pop-up market featuring over three dozen incredible artists, makers, and small businesses, all gathered inside the cozy taproom at Hailstorm Brewing Co. in Tinley Park. Whether you're looking for handcrafted jewelry, fresh sourdough bread, microgreens, or even permanent jewelry, this market has something for everyone. And bonus—it’s completely free to attend and family-friendly!


What to Expect


Doors open at 11 a.m. and the market runs until 5 p.m., giving you plenty of time to grab a pint, browse the booths, and maybe even snag brunch at the brewery (they’ll be serving their brunch menu until 2 p.m.).


You’ll see a well-curated mix of returning favorite vendors and fresh faces. Some of the standout names include:


  • Ready Aim Design Co. – Think plant-themed earrings, custom LED light-up signs, and laser-engraved goodies that’ll make your space pop.

  • The Ancestral Oven – George Gaitan’s artisan sourdough is worth the trip alone.

  • Big Mike Soap Co. – Unique soaps shaped like bears (yes, soap bears!) and more.

  • Ten Cups Tarot – Stop by for a tarot reading if you’re feeling adventurous.

  • Gigawatt Coffee Roasters – Grab a bag of locally roasted beans to take home.


And that’s just the beginning. You'll also find goodies like microgreens, sweets from KP’s Candy Factory, and beautifully handcrafted jewelry by Unique Creations By Rachel.

Giving Back While Shopping Small


One of the things that makes Flurry extra special is that many of the vendors give back to causes close to their hearts. While you shop, you’ll also be supporting charities like:


  • Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (via Jonathan Grimm Art)

  • CFVC for Veterans (Bosco’s All Natural)

  • Child’s Play Charity (Geekbit Creations)

  • Southern Poverty Law Center & Missing Kids Foundation (Spicy Grrrls Hot Sauce)

  • Local food banks (Grandma Dan’s Cookies)


And more! Shopping small has never felt so good.


Meet the Newcomers


We’re excited to welcome several new artists making their Flurry debut this March, including:


  • 4ever Linked Permanent Jewelry – Custom-fit jewelry you’ll never want to take off.

  • Dust Bunny Mafia – Comics, mini-books, and quirky stickers.

  • Flipping Sassy Art & Refinishing – Resin creations, Ouija boards, and refinished home decor.

  • Kismetal Jewelry – Gorgeous pieces made from sterling silver, brass, and gemstones.
