Held a few times a year, Vintage Garage Chicago is a dream destination for anyone who is passionate about all-things-vintage. This flea market is home to anywhere between 75 and 100 vendors each time, displaying retro goodies and antiques on the first three levels of the garage.

Rain or shine, this flea market is always open. The garage is covered, so vendors and customers needn’t worry about getting rained on. It’s also pleasantly surprising how beautiful and Pinterest-like a parking garage looks when it’s filled with knick knacks and vintage oddities.

The admission fee is $6 and lasts for the whole day. The Vintage Garage Chicago welcome families and (friendly) dogs, in fact children under 16 are allowed in for free! Discover vintage clothing, original artwork, intricate jewellery, ornate furniture Midcentury furniture and specifically a lot of items from 1940’s to the 1980’s.
