The Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation (GAGDC) and Special Service Area 32 (SSA#32) would like to cordially invite you to participate as a vendor in the 13th Annual 79th Street Renaissance Festival that is back for TWO DAYS this year!

Last year over 23,000 attendees and more than 100 vendors participated in the largest and fastest growing neighborhood festival in the City of Chicago! This is a great opportunity for businesses, organizations, not-for-profits, elementary and high schools, colleges and universities to “highlight and sell” your products and services to local and citywide residents.

Festival activities include carnival rides, face painting, bounce houses, a petting zoo, live performances, DJs, food, giveaways, and much, much more!

It is also a great way to support our efforts to promote investment, development, family connection, and peace in the community. Pay for your booth before March 30, 2018 and get $50 off the $300 rental fee!

We hope you will continue to be a part of the 79th Street Renaissance Festival, Chicago’s “Family Event.” To help boost your sales, remember to promote your participation on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and other popular social networking sites as well on your own website!
Thank you,
Carlos Nelson, Executive Director – GAGDC
