Chicago, IL - Nearly 40 different musical acts are pegged to take the stages at Market Days 2016 as organizers release the full schedule for the popular two-day street festival in Boystown. 

The Northalsted Business Alliance has released the full entertainment lineup, detailing the slew of performers scheduled for the four different entertainment stages. This comes after the group in July announced their headliners Alex Newell, Deborah Cox and Jake Miller.

Now Market Days is getting a mix of newcomers and Chicago mainstays – like 16 Candles, Catfight, Wedding Banned and The Gingers – all split between two days and four stages. You'll find the full lineup below.

"Market Days draws a national and international crowd to Boystown every year," said Christopher Barrett Politan, executive director of the Northalsted Business Alliance. "We look forward to welcome revelers for a weekend of great fun, terrific entertainment and celebration of the tremendous businesses that help create our iconic neighborhood."

The annual Northalsted Market Days festival takes place on Aug. 13-14 from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The event runs down Halsted Street from Belmont to Addison. A $10 suggested donation is requested at the entrance.
