Don’t miss Marché Privé, a luxury curated vendor pop-up and Derby Day social featuring Chicago’s BIPOC creative entrepreneurs.

Marché Privé, a curated luxury pop-up market, is proud to announce its inaugural event celebrating Chicago’s BIPOC creative entrepreneurs. Scheduled to coincide with Derby Day, Marché Privé will take place on Saturday, May 4th, from 10 am to 3 pm at The Promontory, located at 5311 S. Lake Park Avenue, Chicago.

This daytime social and vendor fair aims to be a celebration for all, offering an opportunity to support local BIPOC businesses. Admission is free for all guests, and the event will feature a vibrant atmosphere with music provided by DJ Tess and a bar open for purchases. “We are thrilled to introduce Marché Privé to the Chicago community, providing a platform to showcase the incredible talent and creativity of BIPOC entrepreneurs,” said Maureen Crichlow, Hyde Park resident, owner of the wellness brand Moonstone Chandlery® and creator of Marché Privé Chicago. “After vending at over a hundred local markets, I wanted to create an opportunity for others. I think it’s so important for BIPOC creative entrepreneurs to develop spaces to flourish in business.” Maureen is organizing the event with the help of fellow creative entrepreneurs Peter Gaona, owner of the esteemed culturally conscious fashion brand Reformed School and Brittany Ramsey, owner of #Thisisthecookout, a purposeful statement fashion clothing line. “At #Thisisthecookout, a key part of our mission is to celebrate and uplift Black people, our culture, our history, and our advancement, while fostering community. We hope that an event like Marché Privé provides opportunities to connect, promote and highlight the immense creativity, vibrancy, and talent the city of Chicago offers, in all BIPOC creators,” stated Brittany Ramsey.

Attendees are encouraged to dress in Derby Day-themed fashion, adding to the festive ambiance of the event. “Derby Day serves as the perfect backdrop for our inaugural event, and we invite everyone to join us for a fun day filled with shopping, music, and community celebration,” Maureen stated. From fashion and accessories to self-care and home decor, Marché Privé will offer a curated selection of luxury goods crafted by local BIPOC artisans. “We are providing an immersive shopping experience you will not receive online,” Peter Gaona added.
