Tips & Advice

  • Consider the Friday evening night market if you prefer to shop during the evening; Saturday and Sunday are also part of the fair.
  • Use the venue parking lot, or consider carpooling, biking, ride services, or public transit.
  • For public transit, take the Red Line to Sox-35th/Bronzeville-IIT and walk west about three blocks, or use the #35 or #39 bus.
  • Bring a leash if you plan to bring a pet; pets must be leashed, and service animals are welcome.
  • The fair is indoors and runs in rain, snow, or shine, so weather will not prevent the indoor event from going ahead.
