What Are Chicago Vendor Events?
Chicago vendor events are curated markets where small businesses and brands can sell products directly to consumers. These events provide exposure, brand awareness, networking opportunities, and immediate sales.
Unlike traditional craft fairs or seasonal markets, CLVR LABs™ events focus on:
- Recurring monthly pop up markets
- Cannabis friendly vendor networking
- Creative entrepreneurs and independent brands
- Culture focused environments
