What is Globalfest?

Globalfest is Chicago-based not-for-profit Chicago Fair Trade’s annual fundraising gala – and the premier fair trade party of the year!

Fair trade is an alternative business model that has a positive impact on people and the planet. Each year, hundreds of fair trade supporters gather together at Globalfest to celebrate Chicago’s leading role in the fair trade movement – and our 20th Anniversary promises to be our best and biggest event yet!

Globalfest highlights include a fabulous silent auction, presentation of our Changemaker Awards, global fusion food, dancing, mingling – and plentiful delicious drinks at our open bar.
