Baconfest

Access: It's in a private space, more like a convention. It's in the Isadore and Sadie Dorin Forum and you need to purchase tickets to attend.
Connection: The theme is bacon. I think there is connection to the meat packing plants that used to thrive in Chicago years ago.
Impact: People get to know local vendors and the vendors profit from the exposure. Also a portion of event proceeds go to support the Food Depository’s programs so that's good.

The Sandwich Fair

The Sandwich Fair is held in a town called Sandwich, Illinois, which it is named for. It takes place in a public space and is blocked by ropes spanning the outside of the fair. The fair is accessible to anyone who can pay to enter. The festival is like 'carnival meets farmers market meets county fair' as the fair has many attractions from each of these fairs. There are carnival rides like a Ferris wheel, carnival games and foods, as well as fresh produce and animal competitions. The fair hosts many vendors that sell everything from small blown glass pieces…

Honolulu Festival

Honolulu Festival is a three-day event celebrating the relationship between Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Rim region. If you go you can gain a rich cultural experience with crafts, dance performances, and art demonstrations. The event culminates with a Grand Parade that starts from Saratoga Road and continues through Kalakaua Avenue. Everybody on the island usually comes and it is a really fun festival to go to. The festival happened earlier this year at the beginning of March before COVID-19 struck.
