A cultural market is just around the corner in Chicago to commemorate the passing of the Lunar New Year, providing Chicago families with a fun day out.
The 2026 Lunar New Year Market is getting ready to help Chicago celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Horse, and local families who wish to learn about new cultures are invited to join the festivities. The market, which is being organized by the Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club, will bring together AAPI artists and vendors to showcase their works of art and handcrafted goods.
Delicious food options will also be available, allowing attendees to discover the tastes of different cultures and expand their palates. The market is welcoming to families with children of all ages, allowing little ones in daycare in Chicago to learn more about the world. Live music will be performed, and giveaways will provide attendees with the chance to leave the market with prizes.
The market will offer children attending daycare centers like Kids’ Work Chicago Riverview another way to learn more about the world, in addition to the courses covered in their curriculum. It is a fun way for the Chicago community to come together and support local artists and businesses.
The 2026 Lunar New Year Market will be held at the Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club on Milwaukee Avenue in downtown Chicago. It will open from noon on Sunday, February 22. Admission is free and open to all interested families in and around town.
