Renegade’s hometown and the location of our headquarters, Chicago is where it all started when we popped-up with our first Fair in 2003. Since then, Renegade has grown into a Chicago mainstay, attracting bustling crowds, exceptional Maker talent, collaborative features, and artistic installations at every Fair.

After years of nurturing artists and Makers of all disciplines, Chicago’s expansive creative community has grown to be an international force in arts and culture. Our Flagship Wicker Park Fair is known as the epicenter of craft, where over 400 of the best Makers + Designers gather for a bustling and inspiring weekend that never fails to attract huge crowds.
