Every summer, Randolph Street comes alive in the form of a huge monthly marketplace. There are a ton of bargains to be had here, so if you’re someone who likes flea markets or shopping around for deals, this one’s for you. Additionally, It’s both indoor and outdoor, which means you can either sit outside and bask in the sun or hang out inside and avoid the rain. Here are the details on the monthly fests:
