Bring the Family to the Skokie Farmers' Market July 19!

Bring the children, both young and old to the Skokie Farmers' Market on Sunday, July 19.

This weekend’s market is jammed packed with fun for the family. First up, meet the amazing balloon artist, RC Juggle from 8:30 a.m. to noon. You’ll be astonished by his creativity! Then head over and meet Skokie’s very own firefighters. The Skokie Fire Department will visit the market from 10 a.m. to noon. Kids are invited to check out Fire Engine #16 and then participate in a water demonstration to earn a firefighters helmet and sticker badge! The Skokie firefighters are all ears for fire safety questions and will provide informational brochures.

Music will be provided by both the impressive Steve Martin Blues Band and guitarist/vocalist Gene Lim.

The Market is open Sunday’s through October 25, 2015. The hours are 7:30 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. and located in the west half of the Village Hall parking lot, 5127 Oakton Street.
