Mother’s Day Great Finds Event Coming to Tinley Park 
 
Just in time for Mother’s Day, a special shopping experience is coming to the heart of downtown Tinley Park. The event will take place on Sunday, May 3 from 12pm to 5pm at Bosco’s Marketplace. Such a great way to spend the afternoon celebrating moms and the people who love them while simultaneously uplifting small businesses. This event will feature a variety of local vendors both indoors and outdoors, giving attendees the chance to browse unique, handcrafted, and meaningful gifts for their mothers. 
A highlight of the event will be the “Mother’s Table,” open from 1pm to 4pm, where moms can enjoy a complimentary beverage and snack as a small token of appreciation for all they do. 
 
Located at 17258 Oak Park Avenue, Bosco’s Marketplace has quickly become a hub for community-centered gatherings. The owners of Bosco’s Marketplace are passionate about bringing fresh, engaging experiences to downtown Tinley Park. They plan to host more ongoing Sunday events to bring the Tinley Park community and multiple small businesses together to create a vibrant space for shopping, connection, and local support. 
 
The event is also pet-friendly. Attendees are asked to keep all pets on a leash and under control at all times to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. With something for everyone, even your pets, this event invites everyone to come together and celebrate the moms who mean so much to us.

“Keep Creativity and the OPEN SIGN On in Tinley Park”


Mucci World Ceramics, Arts & Crafts Studio

At Mucci World Ceramics, Arts Crafts Studio &amp; Marketplace, our mission has always been simple — to bring people together through creativity, joy, and meaningful connection. For over a decade, families, schools, and community groups have come here to create memories, celebrate milestones, and find peace through art. Thanks to Community Support, just a few weeks ago, we were preparing to close our doors on December 23. It was a difficult decision after pouring our hearts into building a creative space for families, children, artists, and neighbors to gather, create, and connect. But something beautiful happened. Our community showed up. Through encouragement, continued bookings, kind words, and steady support, we were reminded why Mucci World exists in the first place — not just as a business, but as a place of joy, creativity, and togetherness. Because of you, we are staying open. Mucci World has always been about more than pottery and paint. It’s a peaceful, creative sanctuary where people of all ages can slow down, unplug, and make lasting memories. From pottery and painting classes to birthday parties, vendor markets, homeschool programs, and special events, this space has become a home for creativity for everyone. Small businesses survive because of communities. Every class registration, every event booking, every share on social media, every encouraging word — it all matters more than people realize. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us, prayed for us, booked events, brought their children, and believed in what we’re building. This next season is about growth, gratitude, and continuing to serve our community with excellence. We’re not closing. We’re just getting started. Thanks to everyone for believing in small businesses &amp; believing in Mucci World. — Mary E. Mucci Mucci World Ceramics, Arts &amp; Crafts Studio 7911- 7913 171st Street, Tinley Park, Il. Let’s keep art — and heart — alive right in our communities. ❤️
