Randolph Street Market Festival Returns with Art Camp, Vintage Treasures, Live Music, Jazz Cabaret, and Two Markets in One

Event Date: July 27, 2026 (10AM)

Recognized as America's favorite urban vintage market, the festival welcomes thousands of shoppers to explore more than 200 vendors featuring vintage fashion, antiques, art, jewelry, home décor, vinyl, global goods, and artisan products from across the country. Tickets are available now at randolphstreetmarket.com.

Unlike traditional outdoor festivals, Randolph Street Market offers two experiences in one, combining expansive outdoor vendor spaces with a massive air-conditioned Beaux-Arts building for a comfortable shopping experience rain or shine. Since 2003, the market has been recognized as one of the country's premier urban antique and vintage shopping destinations, attracting dealers and shoppers from across the nation. Guests can spend the weekend treasure hunting through a curated mix of art, antiques, indie fashion, vinyl, estate jewelry, decorative objects, and global goods while enjoying live entertainment, specialty food vendors, market bars, and interactive experiences throughout the festival.

"Randolph Street Market has always been about discovery and community," said Sally Schwartz, founder of Randolph Street Market. "Whether you're searching for a rare vintage find, enjoying live music, supporting artists, or simply spending the day with friends and family, every visit offers something completely unexpected and memorable. You can come to the Market alone and have new friends by the time you leave."

This July's market embraces an Art Camp theme with an expanded lineup of artist activations, interactive experiences and visiting artists selling their wares. Modern Vintage Chicago will return to The Ballroom with a curated showcase of luxury designer vintage fashion and accessories. Artist Rosemary Fanti will be doing fashion sketches Saturday in The Ballroom from 11am-1pm. Outside, guests of all ages can take a shopping break and experience our Found Artist Studio tent, where the artist in you can create your own piece of art using various recycled materials along with donated prescription pill containers that will be collected at the gate. Visitors who donate three or more containers will receive a complimentary free pass for any future Randolph Street events.

The weekend will also feature Randolph's Scavenger Artist Competition, where three selected artists receive stipends to source materials throughout the market before racing against the clock to create original works of art onsite. Festival attendees will vote on the finished pieces, with cash prizes awarded to the winning artists. Additional art experiences throughout the weekend include Mosy Posy-Rosy's Museum of YOU, live chalk art, Bruce Carlevato caricatures, Rosemary Fanti fashion sketches, Doggy Doodles pet portraits, and other interactive artist demonstrations. Guests can also enjoy specialty experiences including Early Buying Saturday benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Chicago, Swinging Sunday Jazz Cabaret featuring live jazz and brunch cocktails, family packages, treasure hunt experiences, and exclusive group ticket offerings.
