Building D Woodstock

Woodstock's winter market operates out of Building D at the McHenry County Fairgrounds on Country Club Road, the same fairgrounds complex that hosts the town's indoor cold-weather market. Vendors keep the producer-only standard from the summer Town Square market — grown, raised, or made by the seller. Confirm which building and which Saturday before making the drive, since the fairgrounds host multiple events each winter.

Vendors set up along W. Fremont Street and the commuter lot in front of the Arlington Heights Historical Museum every Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon, May through October. The lineup runs to seasonal produce, artisanal cheese, homemade pastries, and freshly roasted coffee, with live music and activities for kids most weeks.

This is the cold-weather counterpart to Woodstock's Town Square market, moving indoors to the McHenry County Fairgrounds at 12015 Country Club Road once the outdoor season ends. The same producer-only rule applies — vendors sell only what they grow, raise, or make themselves. It runs on a reduced winter schedule; check woodstockfarmersmarket.org for current indoor dates.
