The fifth annual Renegade Craft Fair returns to Williamsburg this weekend, showcasing more than 300 designers, artists, and printers. Though the event has always been a good place to find affordable accessories, this year's lineup combines a slew of talented Etsy unknowns with local standouts like Digby and Iona, Species by the Thousands, and Erica Weiner (many of whom are offering Renegade discounts of up to 50 percent off retail prices). The fair is taking place in McCarren Park instead of the the usual McCarren Pool locale (which, fittingly, was drenched by rain last year), with booths snaking along the soccer and softball fields. Click ahead for a preview of some of our favorite finds from this weekend's offerings.
Renegade Craft Fair at McCarren Park, Bedford Ave., at N. 12th St.; S—Su (11—7).
