Join the Nowhere Collective for the trashiest summer market in Chicago featuring inspirational Makers creatively transforming reclaimed materials, repurposing less-than-loved stuff and promoting zero-waste activities. Sponsored by The Eco Flamingo, Chicago’s first zero-waste general store.

Support locally-made, low eco-impact, and socially-thoughtful businesses who make one-of-a-kind goods. Get your hands on trashy products like home goods, planters, art, useful/use-less items, experiences, fashion, accessories and more.

There is no better way to show love for our one-and-only planet than to gather together as a community. We have *nowhere* else to go, so let’s go *nowhere* together.

This is an all-ages event hosted by Nowhere Collective at KOVAL Distillery. We love this partnership because they craft a line of whiskey, gin, and specialty spirits using unique organic grains and signature “heart cut” techniques. They source all of their grains from organic Midwestern farms, supporting the local economy and sustainable agriculture.

KOVAL will be crafting a specialty cocktail for this event! Drinks available for 21 + WITH VALID ID.
