Suds, Crafts, and Community: Palmer Square's July Weekend Lineup Is Packed With Local Fun

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Palmer Square · July 12, 2026

Palmer Square neighbors, your mid-July calendar just filled up fast — and in the best possible way. This Sunday, July 12, Pilot Project Brewing in Logan Square is hosting a Tie-Dye Workshop starting at 4 p.m., giving you the perfect excuse to spend a creative afternoon with neighbors, a cold craft beer in hand, and a blank T-shirt ready for transformation. It's casual, colorful, and quintessentially Northwest Side.

And if you're already marking up your calendar, pencil in the weekend of July 18–19 as well: the beloved Renegade Craft Fair returns to Logan Square, bringing a curated showcase of independent makers, artists, and small-batch creators right to your doorstep along Kedzie Boulevard. For over a decade, Renegade has turned the neighborhood's boulevard into an open-air marketplace that celebrates the kind of handmade, locally-sourced creativity that Palmer Square has always championed. Whether you're hunting for a one-of-a-kind gift or just love supporting small businesses, this is the summer shopping event not to miss.

Taken together, these events paint a picture of a neighborhood that knows how to do summer right — with community, creativity, and a whole lot of local flavor. Check out @pilotprojectbrewing for Tie-Dye Workshop details and @renegadecraft for the full Renegade fair schedule. Get out there, Palmer Square — your neighborhood is calling.
