Chicago is the trade-show capital of North America — McCormick Place runs IMTS, RSNA, NRA, the Auto Show, and IPPE, each pulling 50,000+ attendees. Beyond McCormick we cover three other layers: Loop and Fulton Market corporate events (the city's anchor agency and tech corridor), Magnificent Mile retail openings, and lakefront festival sampling (Lollapalooza, Taste of Chicago, Air & Water Show). Captains know the McCormick freight elevator schedule, IATSE / Teamsters Local 814 jurisdiction lines, and Loop load-in commute reality. Exhibitor program leads, agency producers, and Mag Mile retail launch teams are our anchor buyer. Cold-weather uniform protocol on every winter outdoor call. All staff are 100% W-2 and fully insured.
Lollapalooza in Grant Park, Taste of Chicago, the Air & Water Show along North Avenue Beach, Pitchfork in Union Park, and Riot Fest at Douglass Park.

Questions Schaumburg buyers ask about festival staff.
Does Showcraft staff festivals in Schaumburg and Chicago?+
Yes. We staff festivals throughout Chicago — music, food, cultural, brand-activation festivals — with weather-tested staff who can handle multi-day shifts, sun and heat, and the chaos of festival ops. We also send seasoned captains who have run festival staffing before and know the load-in flow.
Are your Schaumburg festival staff comfortable with long, weather-exposed shifts?+
Yes. Our Schaumburg festival roster is filtered for stamina and weather tolerance — we surface only staff who have worked outdoor multi-day shifts before. Hydration breaks, shade rotations, and shift swaps are coordinated by an on-site Showcraft captain throughout the festival run.
How early do you need to know about a Schaumburg festival booking?+
For peak festival season in Chicago, 4-6 weeks is ideal. Standard fill for a 10-30 person crew is 2-3 weeks. We can rush-fill smaller crews in under a week with a surcharge. The earlier you lock the brief, the more we can pre-train on your sponsor activations and brand standards.
Are your Schaumburg festival staff W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every festival staffer Showcraft sends to a Schaumburg booking is a W-2 employee with workers' comp, general liability, and auto coverage. COIs are issued naming the festival, venue, and sponsor as additional insureds. In California, our payroll is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
