Looking to Vend at Pop-Ups That Actually Convert? Here’s How Chicago’s Creatives Lock In Tables Without the Usual Runaround

Don’t waste weekends at stale markets. Discover CLVR Labs™ events where real creatives vend, connect, and scale in Chicago’s most culture-driven spaces.

What Are the Real Steps to Vend at Top-Tier Events in Chicago?

  • Start with a vetted application — CLVR’s vendor form takes under 2 minutes
  • Choose by date or location: Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, or our summer yacht
  • Confirm category availability (we cap to avoid booth saturation)
  • Lock in payment — all events confirmed via Stripe for transparency

What Makes CLVR Vendor Events Different From Street Fests or Flea Markets?

  • Curated vendor rows — no booth overcrowding or food truck chaos
  • Foot traffic balanced with networking — you’re not yelling over speakers
  • Every room is brand-aligned — from creatives to wellness to cannabis-friendly

How Do I Know If My Brand Fits?

If you’re building in:

  • Fashion, art, food, photography, branding, tech, wellness, or cannabis
  • And care more about culture than gimmicks

— then this ecosystem was built for you.

Can I Apply Last Minute?

You can try — but most events close category slots 5–10 days out. Some brands even book 3 months in advance for guaranteed placement.

Do I Need Permits or Business Licenses?

We handle the venue — you handle your business. If you’re selling food or cannabis-related products, have your compliance in order. CLVR is about longevity, not recklessness.
