The Urban Folk Circuit is a simple practice:: we bring an old-fashioned awareness to a hip, urban market. We exist to support local livelihoods and reconnect mindful buyers to modern handmakers.

The Urban Folk Circuit, Chicago’s only traveling year-round craft-market series, debuted in October 2010 as a means to promote fellow local artisans, musicians, and neighborhood establishments in a way that is sustainable and beneficial to all.
