This year, patrons can expect around 30 vendors selling fresh food and arts and crafts each week at the market. In its inaugural season last year, the market started in August and only lasted 10 weeks, according to Kirstin Bardusk, recreation supervisor with the Oak Forest Park District.
Also new to this year, the Park District is looking to do a couple of special events tied in with the market—possibly live music or events for the children, Bardusk said.
