The Trashy Earth Market 2024

Wrap up Earth Month with our junky jamboree at Gallagher Way featuring artisans who transform reclaimed materials into one-of-a-kind goods and promote zero-waste activities. Shop for home goods, art, planters, fashion, body care, stuff you've never seen before 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.

NEW! Welcome Reduce Waste Chicago for our first collab market! Drop off your hard-to-recycle items to be redistributed, kept in circulation, and out of the landfill. Check their “accepted items” list now to know what to bring and start saving for the big day.

NEW TOO! Join the frayed parade with our latest community-activated live art installation, LOOM360. Created by Katy Osborn, Nandi Duszynski, and Janara Banks. Made possible by Natural Investments. Bring one article of unwearable clothing or scrap textile to cut into ribbons. Attendees will weave rubbish ribbons into our 4-sided loom and create unique tapestries, large and small.

EVENT DETAILS: Hosted at and by Gallagher Way next to Wrigley Field on April 27th, 11am-4pm. If the weather insists on shutting us down (again!), our back up date is April 28th, 11am-4pm. This is a free, outdoor, all-ages event.

RSVP is encouraged but NOT REQUIRED. By registering here, we will be able to communicate with you about updates, changes, and potential cancellations/contingencies due to weather. You are agreeing to be added to our email newsletter, which you can opt-out at any time.

Check back soon for our list of eco- & socially-conscious Trash Smashers offering an array of of uniquely trashy, locally-crafted wares.
