Tighthead Brewing Company

Mundelein, we’re trying something a little different this Saturday!
The Comics, Cards &amp; Cookies Bazaar at Tighthead Brewing Company is the first Streetz Artz Alliance event to really mash together the worlds of comic books, trading cards and our usual mix of artists, makers and small businesses.
We’re talking Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, comic books, comic illustrators, original art, jewelry, chainmaille, 3D-printed creations, photography, tarot, authors, handmade goods and, because apparently we needed another reason to come out, COOKIES!
And yes, there are gluten-free cookies, too.
This is part comic and card show, part artisan market and 100% an excuse to grab a beer, wander around, discover something you didn’t know you needed and support some really cool independent creators.
The current lineup includes AirBreaks, Angelic Celestial Whispers, Back Issue Bin 73 with Ron Baguisa, Belonio Doodles, Cookie’s Gluten Free Kitchen, Cubed Dimensions Printing, D’Mood Kreationz, FeFe’s Pickles and Peppers, JAM. Graphics &amp; Publishing with Verzell James, Lorenzo &amp; Christina, Magic Deck Vortex, Masterclass Savory Sweet Foods, MasterLink Chainmaille, Melanie Klegerman Fersko, Robin Monique Rios, South Side Comic Book Show, Toys for Shotz and Your Sweet Moment Creations.
And we’re always looking to add more!
So whether you’re hunting for your next comic, looking for Magic cards, checking out Pokémon, shopping for handmade art, grabbing something sweet or just looking for a fun Saturday afternoon with a great variety of vendors and a good brewery, come check this one out.
Comics. Cards. Cookies. Art. Beer. What could possibly go wrong?
Saturday, October 10, 2026 12pm–6pm

If you know the sound of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown — the wandering piano of the Graveyard Theme, the swagger of The Red Baron, the wistful Great Pumpkin Waltz — you know Vince Guaraldi's music, even if you've never heard his name. This October, pianist Connor Cowart leads a jazz combo — with LCSO principal Lauren Moldenhauer on flute, LCSO principal Karl EH Seigfried on bass, Octavio Escamilla on guitar, and Calvin Simmers on drums — through brand-new arrangements of that score, written by Cowart himself and performed live for the first time on October 17. Serna's Grill will be on-site serving throughout the evening, along with curated signature cocktails, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. Seating is limited; advance purchase is strongly recommended.
