Timeless treasures in Downtown Lombard
LOV'D—Lombard's Outdoor Vintage Day—brings vintage vendors, live music, food, activities, and community spirit together in the heart of Downtown Lombard. Co-hosted by the Chamber and JL Vintage Odds & Ends, the event transforms South Park Avenue and the Arch into an open-air celebration of vintage style.
Visitors can browse curated collections from more than 25 vendors, uncover one-of-a-kind finds, enjoy live entertainment, and support small businesses and local makers. The event welcomes seasoned collectors as well as families and friends looking for a nostalgic day downtown.
Interested in being a LOV'D vendor?
LOV'D welcomes vintage treasures, retro finds, antiques, upcycled goods, and handmade items with timeless appeal. Seasonal markets attract shoppers from around the region, and spaces are limited. Vendors are encouraged to apply early.
The September 27 event lists a $125 10×10 space. Application does not guarantee acceptance; vendors provide their own tables, chairs, and tents; tents must be weighted; setup begins at 8:00 a.m. with booths ready by 9:30; website or product photos are required; and accepted fees are nonrefundable. A $200 sponsorship includes event-page logo placement and signage. Confirm all terms in the live event listing.
As seen on WGN
LOV'D gained regional attention after the team from JL Vintage Odds & Ends appeared on WGN-TV's Daytime Chicago to showcase the vintage-shopping experience. Watch the WGN interview.
Three unique experiences
In 2026, LOV'D expanded to three seasonal markets in spring, summer, and fall. Each has its own atmosphere while connecting shoppers with curated finds, local vendors, live entertainment, and community experiences. The fall poster advertised 30-plus vendors and music from The Return of Aktar Aktar and Josh Robertson and the Saints. Follow @lombardsoutdoorvintageday for event updates.
