More than 120 artisans selling food, fashion, home goods and art will fill CityGate Centre on Saturday and Saturday, Sept. 19-20.

The Naperville Artisan Market's fall edition is free to attend, with free covered parking in the garage behind Hotel Arista near the Ferry Road entrance. The market runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at 2135 CityGate Lane, near the I-88/Route 59 interchange.

The event is dog-friendly for leashed dogs and kid-friendly. Indoor restrooms are available on site.

What to expect

Vendors are a mix of local and Midwest small businesses selected by StyleChicago, a marketing company that has produced artisan markets across the Chicago area for more than 20 years. The company says nearly two-thirds of the small businesses it works with are women-owned or minority-owned.

Each vendor is juried before acceptance. According to the market's website, artisans are evaluated on quality, authenticity, originality and marketability.

The market spreads across the 30-plus-acre CityGate Centre campus, including the Great Lawn, the office plaza, the area alongside CityGate's Chefs' Garden and along CityGate Lane near Hotel Arista and the DOMAIN CityGate residential complex. StyleChicago says the collection of white vendor tents is visible from Route 59.

Shoppers who get hungry can stop at three on-site restaurants: Arista Coffee & Cafe for coffee and light bites, Zorba Lounge for craft cocktails, and Che Figata Kitchen, which will serve brunch both days.

Cost and access

Admission is free.

The fall market is the second of two Naperville editions in 2026. The spring market took place May 16-17 at the same location. Shoppers can RSVP for free on the market's website. Artisans interested in vending can apply online or call 630-202-4590.

The market organizer's listing does not mention wheelchair or stroller accessibility details or sensory-friendly accommodations. Families with specific needs may want to contact the organizer directly before heading out.

StyleChicago's next market after the Naperville dates is the Oak Brook Artisan Market at Oakbrook Center on Saturday and Saturday, Oct. 3-4.
