CHICAGO, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The global design community is once again making plans to gather in Chicago this June to celebrate the latest in design and architecture. Fulton Market District will welcome top design professionals and enthusiasts to enjoy product launches, exhibits, and events from Monday, June 10 – Wednesday, June 12, during the second annual Fulton Market Design Days (FMDD).

With over 40,000 professionals visiting last year's inaugural Fulton Market Design Days, the neighborhood of brands in the area have once again joined together to further enhance this year's events and logistics for out-of-town guests planning to visit premier design showrooms in Chicago.
This year, Fulton Market Design Days will feature pop-ups, giveaways, street-side screenprinting activations, exhibits, and a central Welcome Center at Morgan & Fulton where guests can meet and network, coordinate plans, and learn about individual events throughout the area.
"There is nothing better than June in Chicago, and this year Fulton Market District will be in full swing serving as a top destination for design, networking, and socialization," said Armando Chacon, President of the West Central Association - Chamber of Commerce. "We have seen continued expansion in the Fulton Market District, with new brands, restaurants and retail spaces opening to our vibrant community. We are excited to experience all our businesses have to offer to the architecture and design community."
