Chicago, IL – The Randolph Street Market Festival, a globally recognized European-style indoor-outdoor market, offers one last chance to please seekers of the rare and beautiful as it rounds out its 7th season with a final fall fashion-inspired market, Saturday, Sept. 25 and Sunday, Sept. 26. With more than 200 select purveyors of high quality, value-priced “finds,” the market returns to 1350 W. Randolph Street with an impressive array of home goods, décor, designer wares, classic pieces and vintage fashions that have made this market a favorite. As always, the market will feature live musical entertainment, food, drinks, including beer, wine and cocktails.

Chicago fashion maven Nena Ivon, head of the Saks Fifth Avenue’s fashion department for 53 years, will be on-site all weekend as a Style Consultant to shoppers. Ivon is available to share her expertise on mixing modern and vintage to rejuvenate and refresh wardrobes for fall.

The Randolph Street Market Festival encompasses several smaller markets in one kinetic energy-filled environment, including the Chicago Antique Market featuring a diverse array of treasures from the past; the Indie Designer Market, where top designers offer contemporary and vintage fashions, original art, jewelry and more; and the Fancy Food Market, where a variety of Chicago’s best restaurants sell delicious food and drink. Hundreds more vendors are located inside the historic, three-level Plumber’s Hall Building located on the market grounds, 1340 W. Washington Blvd.

Hailed by Lucky Magazine as “…the newest hot spot for antiquing” and by Travel and Leisure as one of the top three national urban antique markets, the Randolph Street Market Festival is the city’s premier shopping events.
