Flurry Artisan Market Returns To Tinley Park Brewery, Dozens Of Artists Featured

TINLEY PARK, IL — A popular artisan market will return to Hailstorm Brewing this weekend, offering shoppers a chance to browse handcrafted goods, meet local makers and enjoy craft beer in a relaxed brewery setting.

Curated by the Streetz Artz Alliance, the market features dozens of artists, vintage vendors and specialty food creators from across the region. Shoppers can expect to find a wide range of handmade and small-batch goods including jewelry, artwork, candles, soaps, apparel, plants and vintage items, along with gourmet treats such as roasted nuts, caramel apples, hot sauces and coffee.

The event is organized by Alissa Harris of Cats, Crafts & Cooking, a curator with the Streetz Artz Alliance. The alliance has partnered with Hailstorm Brewing for more than four years to host artisan markets that highlight local creativity while bringing visitors into the Tinley Park brewery.

Several vendors will be making their first appearance at a Hailstorm market this weekend. Kaius Leather will showcase hand-stitched leather goods crafted from premium hides, including wallets, passport holders and cord wraps. Gem Doll Tarot will offer tarot readings focused on personal insight and spiritual guidance, while Honeydo Crafts will bring custom pens, resin art and laser-engraved items. Hex & Crust will also be on site with its popular gourmet pies and slices, which frequently sell out during markets.

Returning Streetz Artz Alliance favorites will also be part of the lineup, including Adara Selene Creations, Art of Alex Kujawa, Bosco’s Marketplace, Custom Dice by Alyssa, Ghost Owl Studio, Gigawatt Coffee Roasters, KP’s Candy Factory, Masterclass Savory Sweet Foods, Nethercrafts, Primtentions, Sew-Kerry, Special K’s BeerCandles, Topsy-Turvy Totems, With Love Products and Wolf Den Gaming, along with many other artists and makers.

Local vendors say they are looking forward to the event.

“Working on some restocking for Hailstorm Flurry Artisan Market this Sunday. Who will be there and who you bringing with you? Because friends don’t let friends shop alone,” said Jeannette Tarqueno, owner of Primtentions.

Guests attending the market can also enjoy food and drinks from the brewery. Hailstorm’s Scratch Made Kitchen will be serving items such as pretzel sticklers, wings, grilled cheese sandwiches and flatbreads. The brewery recently highlighted its Blueberry Hill Shandy, an easy-drinking blueberry lemon beer, along with its Southside Irish Red.

Hailstorm Brewing is also preparing for a busy weekend in the taproom. In a recent social media post, the brewery highlighted one of its seasonal offerings: “Lucky you, Blueberry Hill Shandy is pouring. Our easy-drinking blueberry lemon shandy clocks in at 3.8% ABV and is perfect for this beautiful patio weather. Of course, we’ve got Southside Irish Red. Venture off the beaten path today and head to Hailstorm Brewing.”

Several artists will also be making their debut at Hailstorm with the Streetz Artz Alliance during this market. Kaius Leather will showcase hand-stitched full-grain leather goods crafted from premium hides sourced from around the world, including wallets, card holders, passport wallets, cord wraps, and leather earrings made from reclaimed remnants.

Gem Doll Tarot will offer intuitive tarot readings and spiritual clarity sessions designed to provide guidance, alignment, and empowerment.
