Maker Opportunity: Chicago Pride Fest 2024

Published On: February 23rd, 2024

Chicago’s Pride Fest is looking for vendors who sell handcrafted goods!  The festival, held on June 22nd and 23rd, features live music by headline artists and local favorites, 3 stages, food and drink, 150+ arts/crafts vendors, DJ’s and dancing, drag shows, pet parade, sponsored presence, games, giveaways and more.

All art must be handcrafted, no exceptions!
“Handcrafted,” means it was made entirely by hand or with the use of simple tools (e.g., knife, needle, paintbrush.) Hence, there was no machine involvement in the creation of the goods otherwise you are considered a “Merchant”.
