2021 CHIRP RECORD FAIR @ PITCHFORK MUSIC FESTIVAL DATE: September 10—12, 2021 LOCATION: Union Park, 1501 West Randolph in Chicago’s Union Park at the corner of Ashland & Lake FAIR HOURS: Friday / Saturday / Sunday (noon–10pm) CONTACT: Jenna Chapman & Kwame Shorter, [email protected] FROM THE RECORD FAIR DIRECTORS CHIRP Radio is thrilled to announce that we will once again be hosting a record fair in conjunction with this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival, taking place at Union Park in Chicago, on September 10—12, 2021! The COVID-19 pandemic has had an incalculably huge impact on the industry at large. We're doing everything we can to ensure that this return to in-person programming is a success for you, our vendors - starting with table costs, which have been lowered to pre-2016 levels in recognition of the financial challenges of the past year. We are so grateful that you're ready to jump into the fray with us! Pitchfork is requiring all vendors and attendees to either a) provide proof of completed COVID-19 vaccination (either through a TBA health pass app or by presenting your CDC white card vaccination record at entry) or b) provide proof of a negative COVID test within the last 72 hours, for each day admittance to festival grounds is needed. We believe that these requirements will make the festival and Record Fair a safe and fun experience for all involved. The Record Fair will take place under an open-air canopy tent (with multiple fans) on the tennis courts at Union Park and will be open all days and all hours that the Festival is taking place. Please note that you’ll be required to sell for the full three days of the Fair; make sure to bring enough to sell! Load-in is Thursday evening. As this fair is a strict 3-day commitment, note that you will not be able to load-out on Friday or Saturday night; the only time for load-out is Sunday night (10pm, after the fair is over). If you are interested (and we sincerely hope that you are!), please return the attached contract, signed waiver, and payment. We will send you an email confirming your attendance once we receive those three items. Email us with any questions. And remember, act fast! These tables go quickly and there is a limited supply!
