The largest two-day street fair in the Midwest, sponsored by the Northalsted Area Merchants Association, arrives at Chicago’s North Halsted Street Aug. 6-7. Look forward to market-goers from coast-to-coast converging on North Halsted between Belmont (3200 North) and Addison (3600 North) streets to celebrate the 24th annual Market Days. A $6 donation at the door is requested.
The two-day event runs Saturday, August 6-Sunday, August 7 from 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. The festival spans six city blocks, has 17 entrance gates and features three music stages with a program lineup that includes more than 40 musical acts, and some of the best live entertainment in Chicago, and is a feast for the senses: eat / shop / browse more than 400 booths.
National headliners include singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik and standup comedienne extraordinaire Judy Tenuta on Saturday. Sunday’s headliners include R&B legend The Average White Band, singer/songwriter Melissa Ferrick, and soul-rockers Whild Peach.
