22 Preview Pics of Chicago’s Market Days in Boystown

Thanks to the folks at Northhalsted.com for the photos from Market Days 2017 to whet our appetite for what is to come this weekend. In fact, Market Days Warm Up Parties are already starting.

The weekend-long festival features an all day lineup of live music on four stages, 200+ unique vendors, arts, crafts, food and drink, DJs and dancing, sponsor booths, and more. Estimated attendance approaches 200,000 people from near and far, representing all colors of the rainbow.

Founded in 1980, the celebration now spans 1/2 mile of North Halsted in Chicago's Boystown neighborhood -- America's first recognized gay village -- from Addison to Belmont.
