Girls Rock! Chicago (GR!C) is excited to be hosting a handmade pop-up market at The Rookery (2109 W. Chicago Ave.) during the West Town Chamber of Commerce Winterfest. The event will take place on Saturday, December 9, 2017 and will include local businesses all over West Town. There is no charge to enter the market or peruse any shops involved in the Fest, and Fest-goers can enjoy free refreshments and children’s activities in the Shapiro Ballroom as well. The Market is also a benefit for Girls Rock! Chicago. All of the Vendors will make a donation to the organization. So stop by, let’s be merry, shop local artisans and stores, and support a great organization!

Girls Rock! Chicago will also be participating as a vendor. GR!C is a nonprofit dedicated to building socially just community with girls, transgender youth, and gender non-conforming youth by developing leadership, fostering self-esteem, and encouraging creative expression through music. You can pick up limited edition t-shirts and tote bags designed and printed by local artists, CDs of the original songs written by our campers, locally screen-printed posters of your favorite women in music, and more at the GR!C table.

We are also recruiting vendors!!

We’re looking for makers of all sorts–knitters, jewelers, woodworkers, stitchers, and more–to join us for this pop-up market. Vendors are asked to donate $50 to enter and will keep all of their proceeds throughout the day. We will provide a table and chair, and both Girls Rock! Chicago and the West Town Chamber of Commerce will be marketing the event. Please email winterfest@girlsrockchicago.org with a sample of your work to apply.
