WICKER PARK — An extra special "Taco Tuesday" — one where customers can get a photo booth portrait snapped to use in holiday postcards, plus score handmade goods at a mini market —  is happening at Antique Taco.

The holiday photos and mini market is set for 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Antique Taco's upstairs meeting room, 1360 N. Milwaukee Ave., according to a Facebook event page.

The market is free to attend but it will cost $35 to get a portrait done by vendor Smilebooth, who will take photos that can be used to make postcards using pre-designed holiday overlays. 

The $35 donation will go to Photosserve, a nonprofit group for visual artist, according to Antique Taco co-owner Ashley Ortiz.

Ortiz said that the process will begin with guests spending time in the photo booth and selecting their holiday overlays with Smilebooth's iPads. Then, in the following days, Smilebooth will email everyone the gallery and they can download all the photos and select the one they want to use for their postcard.

In addition to the photo booth, the event will include participation from five other holiday vendors and special holiday cocktails.

The market offerings include handmade wreaths By Robin Lee, clothing By Lost Girls, custom ornaments by Tiffany Wong, candy by Bulk & Bundle and holiday tags and wrapping by Joslyn Villalpando.
