Looking for antique housewares or lighting, toys and collectibles, or vintage clothing and jewelry? Find these and many other treasures at Randolph Street Market Festival.
For this European-style market in the distinctive Randolph Street Market District, some 150 vendors set up shop monthly inside (and outside) the beautiful Beaux Arts Plumbers Hall complex. Find different goods each time you visit the market – open June 27-28, July 25-26, August 29-30, and September 26-27.
This legendary “Market of Markets” is also home to the Indie Designer Market, where young artisans sell one-of-a-kind fashion, jewelry, art and décor, and the Global Goods Bazaar featuring ethnic wares. Take a trip down memory lane by browsing thousands of collectible records at the Vinyl Swap Meet. Shop the Fancy Food Market for breads, cakes, spice, oils and other treats to take home.
New this year is the Do-It-Yourself Estate Sale, designed for those who want to sell their own collectibles or things they’ve inherited. Introduce kids to a lifetime hobby via the new Junior Collectors Club, which supplies them with a treasure map they can use to scout out items they might like to collect.
Wonderful amenities include fabulous foods and pick-up/drop-off service between the market and Water Tower Place. Visit Randolph Street Market Festival for information on parking, admission (including free market hours), and other details.

Guess what!! We are going to Disney. That being said, you will be seeing a ton of Disney reviews on here in come coming weeks. We are super excited and got an excellent deal that I am hoping to share with you all. If you book a 4 nights, you get 3 free. This also includes your tickets to the theme parks. If you go before March 29th, you also get a $200 gift card once you get there! Southwest has some really great airfare deals too, so I highly recommend checking into them for your airfare!
We’ve got Madison’s birthday party this weekend, but I’ll be posting about some the experiences I have already had with Disney after that!
