The largest street festival in the Midwest returns to the bustling Lakeview neighborhood for a two-day celebration of music, pride and community. Northalsted Market Days is scheduled for August 12-13, 2023.
The 41st annual festival kicks off with over 200 vendors, five stages and all-day line-ups of live music and DJs. The raucous crowds pack Hasted Street from Belmont to Addison for the headliners, which include Drag Race All Stars winner and hometown queen, Shea Coulee, Australian pop star Betty Who and 90s dance music icon Crystal Waters, so arrive early for good sightlines or easy vendor shopping.
Northalsted Market Days run from 11 am-10 pm on both days. Admission is free with a $20 suggested donation.
