Local Shopping

The Oak Park Area’s shopping scene is a singular experience. You can find one of a kind treasures here that will make a perfect, thoughtful gift or a great addition to your own collection or wardrobe. Many entrepreneurs here strive to bring the best Locally Made and Illinois Made items into their stores and offer truly individual items you won’t find anywhere else.  

Annual Events are another great shopping experience. Riverside Arts Festival in May and Brookfield Fine Arts Festival in September are very popular for both locals and tourists to check out the works of local and regional artists. Forest Park hosts Garage Galleries in August, a fun, casual experience where residents turn their garages into gallery exhibition spaces.

Be sure to check Events for dates and times.
