Thousands of collectible records from 45's to LP's, jazz to rock and show tunes galore will make you tap your toes and groove down memory lane; THE FANCY FOOD MARKET! All types of chocolates, cakes, breads, spices, olive oils, salsa to bring home or enjoy during the event;THE GLOBAL GOODS BAZAAR! Some delightful crafts and artisan goods representative of Chicago's ethnic neighborhoods.

And also for the collectors who want to downsize and the lucky customers who get first dibs on these treasures..........THE DO-IT-YOURSELF ESTATE SALE! for anyone who collects or has inherited treasures they'd like to sell!

FOR KIDS: if you're a parent with a curious kid who is bored a lot, then we invite you to experience the first ever Junior Collectors Club!
