LA’s 2nd Annual event will take place Saturday + Sunday, July 24 + 25 from 11AM – 7PM each day.  The Fair is being held at the Los Angeles State Historic Park (aka The Cornfields), which is located at 1245 North Spring Street - adjecent to Chinatown and nearby Dodger Stadium.

When we first visited the magnificent, green grounds of the Park, we instantly knew that Renegade has found its new L.A. home!

We encourage you to take public transportation to the Fair! If you have access to the Metro Rail, the park is less than a block away from the Chinatown Station on the Metro Gold Line. Visit LA Metro to plan your trip!

Yes! There is parking on the park grounds, as well as street parking in the area.

Is there an entry fee?

The Renegade Craft Fair is always FREE to attend!!

Are pets allowed?

We’ve seen all sorts of pets at Renegade – dogs, cats, parrots!  The Los Angeles State Historic Park is a public place, so as long as you’re respectful to others and keep your pet on a leash – it should be fine!

Are there activities for kids?

Yes! Each fair offers something different. In the past we’ve had kids ‘accessorize with small toys’, learn to knit, take pictures in the photobooth, and have their faces painted! Many of our vendors make kid friendly items too. So, if your child likes tagging along with you when you go shopping, then they’ll love Renegade!

How are your vendors selected?

Very carefully! Since we receive many more applications then we can accept for each event, we jury each application based on their originality, quality, how their items fit in with our ‘renegade’ vision, cost and several other criteria.
