Join us for a festive shopping experience at Holiday Market: A Lincoln Park Zoo + Nowhere Collective Collaboration, where twinkling lights meet local delights!

At this whimsical marketplace, you’ll meet artisans who transform reclaimed materials into one-of-a-kind wonders and shop their handcrafted wares like home goods, garden gear, art, fashion, bath and body items, and more—all while enjoying the 3+ million lights of ZooLights Presented by Invesco QQQ and ComEd along the way.

Whether you’re looking for unique gifts, enjoying a night out, or simply soaking in the spirit of the season, the Holiday Market is a great way to support local businesses and divert would-be waste from landfills.

Nowhere Collective is a community of local artisans offering a joyous, hope-filled way to shop for the holidays. With their hands-on skill and creative vision, these craftspeople transform reclaimed materials into one-of-a-kind treasures.

There is no other market that offers a fully CIRCULAR experience! What does that mean? Not only can you shop, you can also drop off household supplies to the artisans for their future creative projects. Plus participate in waste-less activities and hands-on crafts.

Material Request List coming soon!
