Best Place to Shop Small and Also Have Fun

Renegade Craft Fair

Founded in Chicago in 2003 before growing into the biggest craft-fair showcase in the world, Renegade returns home three times every year. Check out its kickoff in spring (usually in May around Pilsen), its goodbye kiss to summer (on Division Street in Wicker Park, mid-September) and its return in time for Christmas shopping (at the Bridgeport Art Center). Bringing together a wide range of artists, designers, makers and entrepreneurs from across the country, the renowned event also does pop-ups—Pitchfork Festival is an annual staple. Apart from an opportunity to shop small and support local businesses, the craft fair is a genuine good time: think beer, wine and cocktail samples, with dj booths stretching across the fair. Bottom line: No matter how many times you’ve visited, you’ll still find it fun (or necessary) to go back. (Vasia Rigou)
