Renegade has come so far since it’s first event in Chicago’s Wicker Park in the fall of 2003. Focused on showcasing the handmade, indie-craft culture, Renegade events are free to attend and feature hundreds of artisans, some of whom travel across the country to sell their wares. There are many way to get involved: you can apply to be a vendor, host an activity or event on site, perform, volunteer…whatever excited you most! It’s a great place to meet fellow crafters, pick up a new skill, share your work with a broad audience, or just have a really fun time.
