On August 9th and 10th, tens of thousands of people from across the country will converge on Halsted Street to celebrate the 27th annual Northalsted Market Days®. This event is the largest two-day street fair in the Midwest, and lives up to its reputation as one of the country's finest festivals!

The event spans six city blocks, has 17 entrance gates and features three music stages with more than 40 musical acts performing. Many of these artists will be top-name, national headliners, giving Market Days a reputation for some of the best live music in Chicago.

Market Days is also famous for its vast array of unique food, and arts and crafts vendors. Vendors from across the country apply for the privilege of showing and selling their unique wares to this huge, upscale crowd. On average, Northalsted Market Days® features 400 food, arts and crafts vendors.

Kevin's Comments
I live for this every year. We break all the rules at this one. Get ready to shop, drink, dance, and party all day and night. Bring everyone you know to this huge two day event. You will find yourself wrapped up in the moment, relaxed and smiling from ear to ear. The vendors are top notch with handmade artwork, photography, and candles offcorse. The community has embraced us so we go out of our way to give back with Raw Candle discounts and specials. The Raw Candles booth will be in front of my favorite bar Side Track, on the west side of the street. See you there.
