Randolph Street Market brings vintage, antique vendors back to West Loop
CHICAGO — Beautiful weather brought hundreds of people to the Randolph Street Market on Saturday as they searched through thousands of one-of-a-kind vintage finds.
It all kicked off on Saturday and organizers say it is among the largest urban antique markets in the country.
“People love it, this is the 21st year of this organization,” Randolph Street Market Board Member Colleen Kinder said.
Nearly 1.5 million people have stopped by the festival since it opened up 21 years ago.

Organizers say shoppers will find about 200 hundred vintage and antique vendors on sight and rain or shine, the market will be open through the weekend.
Joe Valenti, who runs Flower Child Vintage, was among the vendors.
“They are looking for that look and they want individuality. They want it not to be something you’ve seen a million times,” Valenti said.
