A four-day shopping extravaganza is back.

The One of a Kind Holiday Show will return to the seventh floor of The Mart from Dec. 5-8.

The event at 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza, Chicago, features handmade work from more than 600 artists and makers. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and shop directly from the show’s artists and talent to discover behind-the-scenes insights and inspirations.

“We are so proud to be returning for the 23rd edition of the Holiday Show this December. We have an incredible lineup of talented artists, each hand-selected by our jury,” said Kathleen Hogan, director of the One of a Kind Holiday Show. “Each maker has their own background, style and perspective, truly making it a one-of-a-kind event.

“Year over year we can’t wait to bring the holiday cheer while offering these makers a platform to share their work with the world.”
