This year's theme at Sidetrack for Market Days was “Lead With Love.” Read more below.
Sidetrack celebrated the 37th annual Northalsted Market Days Chicago with a weekend of parties both out in the street and under the Big Top! Each year, people from the around the world descend on Chicago for the largest street fair in the Midwest -- Market Days. Founded in 1980, the celebration now spans half a mile of North Halsted Street in Chicago's Boystown neighborhood --America's first recognized gay village.
This year's theme at Sidetrack was "Lead With Love," and the bar transformed into Cirque du Sidetrack, a collection of visually stunning experiences in the massive two-story, eight-bar club.
The weekend kicked off Friday nightwith a Cirque du Sidetrack party complete with sexy clowns, face painting, and ringmaster Dixie Lynn Cartwright. Saturday and Sunday, Sidetrack took it to the streets with a set of two-story cirque tents where festivalgoers could grab a beer or Froze, Sidetrack's custom Market Days cocktail.
Saturday and Sunday entertainment included Dixie, French juggler Cyril Rabbath, RuPaul's Drag Race's Dida Ritz, resident queens Alexis Bevels and Saya Naomi, and sexy "Ball Boys" Michael, Jacob, and Tristan. But, as anyone who has been there can tell you, one of the highlights of Market Days in Chicago is the amazing eye candy that comes from around the world.
