If it's not yet clear, we just want to say, the Circus is not a craft fair or a market. It's the Circus. We are only offering very few spaces for businesses, and there are a few ways one of these spaces can be yours.
Workshop involvement
If you're leading a workshop, you're invited to offer some of your products at the Circus. We'll finalize the "what" and "how much" with you later, but know that we'd love to offer some space to you.
Chicago record store
We have a few favorites in mind, and likely if you got to this page, you're one of 'em. The Circus will bring lots of folks together, for a event larger and longer than a concert, and we want to offer a great mix of activities and entertainment throughout the event. We hope to have a space with a record store presence, with items for sale, and hopefully a small hang-out area where people can listen to records and talk music. Of course, if you're the store that provides this experience, you're welcome to sell stuff! It's a great way for your store to get involved in something fun, to make money, and to bring something of interest (music! records!) to people at the Circus.
Unique Chicago business
If you're Chicago-based, and offer something unique that fits well with the Circus, please reach out to us. Unfortunately, we won't have room for everyone, but we hope to have a few fun shops located throughout the event. If you think the folks attending would love to see you there, then we'd love to have you there. Reach out to us and let us know what you do, and why you'd be a good fit for the Circus.
