Northalsted Market Days Kicks Off
Sat. August 7, 2004 12:00 AM
The Midwest's largest two-day street festival is in full swing.
Chicago, IL -
Northalsted Market Days, the largest two-day outdoor street festival in the Midwest - and arguably the most diverse in terms of people-watching and musical acts - kicked off under beautiful blue skies, on Halsted Street between Belmont and Addison in Chicago's Lakeview (Boystown) neighborhood.
Among those scheduled to perform are: British synth-popsters A Flock of Seagulls; acclaimed Grammy Award-winner Shelby Lynne (country/blues/roots rock); San Francisco queer punk rockers Pansy Division; and The Von Trapp Children, scions of the legendary Austrian musical family.
Sponsored by the Northalsted Area Merchants Association, Market Days—now celebrating its 23nd year—will feature more than 350 arts/craft/food vendors and nearly 30 entertainment acts on three stages.
Hours are 11:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m. each day. Suggested gate donation is $6 with a portion of the proceeds going to The Center on Halsted (Chicago's new gay/lesbian community center now under construction).
