After 25 Saturdays on 2nd Ave, HarborMarket customers made their last flower bouquet purchases, got in one last meal from their favorite food truck to tide them over until May, and took a leisurely stroll through the market. The end of HarborMarket’s outdoor season is followed closely by the start of their indoor season on Saturday, November 8.
Held at the Woman’s Club of Kenosha, 6028-8th Ave, the indoor Kenosha HarborMarket is a scaled-down version of popular outdoor seasonal vendors. Despite the inhospitable weather for farming, it even includes vendors with fresh produce and eggs. Prepared foods such as empanadas and apple cider, as well as baked goods and artisan creations, also travel indoors. Local small businesses at HarborMarket appreciate year-round customer support.
The indoor HarborMarket will operate every Saturday from November 8 through April 25, except for a holiday market on December 13 (see below), and will close for the holiday on December 27. Open 9 am to 1 pm, the venue has convenient parking in the lot along Sheridan Road and on Library Square. A ramp allows access from the Sheridan Road lot to the market. Live music by local musicians will again fill the venue during market hours.
Holiday HarborMarket December 13 at The Stella Hotel & Ballroom
December is filled with parties, concerts, school commitments, and probably a cold or two. And don’t forget the gifts you need to buy. For the past five years, the Holiday HarborMarket has taken place at The Stella Hotel & Ballroom. With over 60 vendor booths this year, you’ll find unique gifts ranging from jewelry to candles, and holiday cookies to gourmet ingredients for holiday meals. Holiday HarborMarket will be open from 9 am to 2 pm.
A Thank You
Even Santa’s gotten word of the Holiday HarborMarket. He’ll be there for free photos. It’s fitting that one of HarborMarket’s most popular events takes place in one of Kenosha’s most beautiful holiday venues (that is always decked out for the season).
A thank you to the tens of thousands of customers, over 200 vendors, dedicated staff, and the board members who made Kenosha HarborMarket’s 2025 outdoor season another success. And a note of appreciation to all of those who voted Kenosha HarborMarket as Kenosha’s Best Event for the FIFTH consecutive year.
Starting in May, Kenosha HarborMarket will return to 2nd Ave for their 24th outdoor season. Applications will open in January for the largest – and best- outdoor market in the region. Watch HarborMarket’s Facebook page and website for applications.
