2009 North Halsted Street Market Days

The 2009 North Halsted Street Market Days is going on this weekend (Aug. 1 and 2) in Chicago. This is the largest 2-day neighborhood street fair in the Midwest.

We walked down there (we live a block away) right when they opened at 11:00 am. Many of the vendors were still setting up, and it was crowded yet. We always like to scout around this early in the day before it gets VERY crowded later in the afternoon just so we can get a feel for what's around and where. We usually go back to it several times a day, especially around meal times since we usually buy stuff there to eat over the 2 days.

So we just got back after walking around for about an hour. Grabbed a bite to eat - my favorite grilled chicken-on-a-stick with fried rice. Yummy, and easy to eat while you walk. Here are some early pictures of the street fair before the big crowds arrive. The weather is a bit overcast, and there's some rain in the forecast for this afternoon. It should clear up by late afternoon/early evening, and it should be nice tomorrow.
