Attention all TOP sellers: THE RANDOLPH STREET MARKET FESTIVAL IS WHERE IT’S AT!
For anyone who wants to get in front of the most influential and well-traveled shoppers, RSM is unlike any other market in the country. In fact, many visitors from around the globe consider the Randolph Street Market to be THE MARKET of markets!
When we began this journey in 2003, the West Loop Fulton Market was totally sleepy and super affordable. Since then, the WLFM has become the hottest and priciest hood in the city. It’s now home to many sports and entertainment folks, tech geniuses, business movers and shakers, along with internationally recognized Michelin restaurants like Girl and the Goat, Smyth, and Elske, plus it’s now a real hospitality hub with Robert de Niro’s Nobu Hotel and London’s Soho House, all just down the street. And throw in some incredible new concept stores Billy Reid, Notre, and SVRN, style hunters abound up and down Randolph Street!
Consistently named as one of the Top Ten US Antique Markets by Architectural Digest, USA Today, Travel & Leisure, UK Guardian, HGTV, goop and many many other news outlets – the Randolph Street Market gets a clientele unlike any other “flea” or local market, hosting professional and retail shoppers with taste and wallets to appreciate and BUY authentic unique goods from super talented people like you.
We have booth options at a range of price points depending on your budget, we invite talent at all levels to apply, we LOVE discovering stars! Rest assured that wherever you fall in the food chain, there is gold to be found for you here at Randolph Street Market!

New This Year: dealer layaway plan!
The Randolph Street Market is a democratic enterprise and we want talent of all shapes, sizes and economic circumstances.
We want to make it easy for you to lock in a space without having to pay the entire invoice upfront if you need to conserve cash. However we also do not want to hold any spaces without some type of non-refundable deposit so we can plan accurately on who will be attending.
Randolph Street Market requires a minimum 50% deposit to hold a space with the remaining balance payable no later than 21 days prior to the market date. Without full booth payment by this date, we will release your reservation and return your deposit minus a $50 processing fee. If you cancel anytime between 21 and 7 days before the market, there are no refunds, just credit towards another market in the same calendar year minus a $50 processing fee. If you cancel on or after 7 days before any market there are no refund or credits. The market takes place rain or shine, indoors and outdoors and is never cancelled.
Booth sharing is allowed ONLY by permission and both vendors must be listed and pay the City pop-up license separately.
You may pay by Credit Card, Check or Paypal. Please make checks payable to: City Markets, Inc. Dealers who have written bad checks will lose check payment privileges, and must pay in cash or credit card. Dealers whose checks are returned unpaid will be charged an additional $100 bank fee.
