Berenice Bash: Get Crafty

Sunday, August 24 • 12 PM to 4 PM

Get ready for an exciting afternoon of arts and crafts at the corner of Lincoln & Berenice! This event will feature tons of hands-on crafty fun for all ages in a pop-up market style event that showcases the 47th Ward’s creativity.

We’re bringing together art vendors and small businesses from all corners of the ward to display beautiful, handmade trinkets, paintings, prints, fashion, fibers, and more.

Come get inspired by hands-on art activities and the possibility of transforming this underused parking lot into something more. While you're here, share your ideas and help us reimagine what this space in Northcenter could become!
