Randolph Street Market Festival Returns September 26-27 with Over 200 Vendors

Randolph Street Market Festival, 1341 W. Randolph St., returns to Chicago's West Loop Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, from 10 am to 5 pm, for its “Best in Show: Tastemakers Choice for Charity” edition, bringing together more than 200 dealers for what's been billed as America's largest and liveliest urban antiques market. Since 2003, the market has drawn shoppers from across the country to its expansive outdoor vendor spaces and air-conditioned Beaux-Arts building, offering a rain-or-shine shopping experience spanning antiques, vintage and indie fashion, fine art, vinyl records, estate jewelry, home décor and global goods, and making it one of the nation's premier urban antique and vintage shopping destinations. With more than 200 dealers spread across the market's outdoor grounds and air-conditioned Beaux-Arts building, shoppers can expect an ever-changing mix of vintage and antique furniture, decorative art, fine jewelry, vinyl records, indie designer fashion, global goods and one-of-a-kind finds from sellers across the country. This September, the market adds a philanthropic twist with its “Best in Show: Tastemakers Choice for Charity” theme. A panel of 75 judges — well-known interior designers, fashion stylists and tastemakers — will roam the show awarding ribbons to their favorite booths across three categories: Fashion Styling, Interior Decor Styling, and overall Best in Show for standout individual items. Randolph Street Market will make a donation to each judge's chosen charity in their name. Shoppers can look for the ribbons throughout the show to track down judges' top picks and uncover some of the weekend's best hidden-gem finds. This September's dealer lineup offers a particularly rich sampling of that variety for collectors and design lovers alike. Standout vendors include: This Old Book – a wide selection of fun, collectible titles known for their eye-catching covers and quirky finds Oscar Isberian Rugs – a gorgeous selection of legacy hand-knotted rugs sourced from around the world Range Rider – the market's biggest collector and seller of vintage cowgirl fashion and accessories Lottie Dottie – a curated selection of vintage housewares spanning the 1950s through 1970s Chicago Costume – a huge variety of vintage costumes representing every era Doggy Doodles – adorable custom pet sketches drawn while you wait Industrial Cottage – a master upholsterer showcasing his own line of handcrafted furniture creations Beyond the shopping, Randolph Street Market Festival delivers a full day of eating, drinking and entertainment in the heart of the West Loop. A full on-site bar keeps guests refreshed with beer, wine, spirits and specialty cocktails, while a rotating lineup of food trucks and local restaurant vendors, including Pink Flamingo Cotton Candy, serves up everything from quick bites to full meals and sweet treats throughout the weekend. Live music plays across both days, from live bands to DJs spinning on the market floor, rounding out a festival atmosphere that keeps shoppers browsing, eating and lingering well past their first lap through the vendor stalls. Randolph Street Market Festival takes place Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27 from 10 am – 5 pm both days, rain or shine, at 1341 W. Randolph St. in Chicago's West Loop.
