Good Eats at Renegade Holiday Fair

6310187951_acf9fa62ff_o.jpgToday is your last day to attend Renegade Craft Fair's 6th Annual Holiday Market Chicago. Held at the Pulaski Park Fieldhouse from 11am-6pm, the free-to-attend market features over 150 vendors selling their handmade goods, which make the perfect gifts for almost anyone on your list. Come for the shopping (and maybe even for the shopping soundtrack from CHIRP Radio, Reckless Records and Dusty Groove), but stay for the food, as a selection of local eateries will be on hand to supply you with some re-energizing noshes while you shop 'til you drop. Mana Food Bar and Flying Saucer provide the savories, while Black Dog Gelato, Puffs of Doom and Cheap Tart Bakery supply the sweets. Coming off a sugar high? Dark Matter Coffee has you covered, supplying you with a caffeine fix to get you through to the end. No sure how to get there? Pick up the free Renegade Holiday Trolley which will be making several stops along the way to and from the fair. The Pulaski Park Fieldhouse is located at 1419 W Blackhawk St Chicago, IL 60622.
