Chicago City Markets, presented by Country Financial, returns to neighborhoods throughout the city for the spring and summer seasons.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_1\">The season kicks off with the opening of the Daley Plaza Market on Thursday, May 11 at 11:30am and the famous Maxwell Street Market on Sunday, May 14 at 7am.\u00a0These are just some of the more popular markets where you can find fresh seasonal produce, flowers, grab-and-go street food, local handmade products, and rare items.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_2\">&#8220;Our markets provide residents with access to fresh and healthy food \u2013 and unique Chicago-made products and other merchandise \u2013 but they also bring communities together, many offering live music and other cultural activities,&#8221; says Mark Kelly, Commissioner of the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_3\">All outdoor markets in Chicago are now managed under one program, and the city has made an effort to provide fresh, quality produce to low-income and low-access neighborhoods by instituting seasonal markets in these new areas.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_4\">This community-focused initiative has also reached out to Chicago Public Schools, giving students an opportunity to submit designs for bags in the 10th Annual Reusable Bag Design Contest. Created from the theme, &#8220;Give, Grow, and Be Green,&#8221; the winning student&#8217;s design will be used in city markets throughout the season. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.countryfinancial.com\/en\/about-us\/country-in-your-community\/community-events\/chicago-farmers-market\/chi-bag-design-2015.html\" target=\"_blank\">submission<\/a> deadline is Thursday, April 6 at 4pm.<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_5\">See the complete list of markets throughout Chicago below:<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_6\">\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_7\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Sundays<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_8\"><strong>Maxwell Street Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_9\">Desplaines Street and Taylor Street<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_10\">Year-round, 7am &#8211; 3pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_11\"><strong>Bronzeville Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_12\">47th Street and King Drive<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_13\">July 16 &#8211; September 10, 8am &#8211; 1pm<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_14\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Tuesdays<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_15\"><strong>Federal Plaza<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_16\">Adams Street and Dearborn Parkway<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_17\">May 16 &#8211; October 31, 7am &#8211; 3pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_18\"><strong>Columbus Park<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_19\">Congress Parkway &amp; Central Avenue<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_20\">July 11 &#8211; September 12, 2pm &#8211; 7pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_21\"><strong>Lincoln Square<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_22\">2301 West Leland Avenue<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_23\">June 6 &#8211; October 31, 7am &#8211; 1pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_24\"><strong>North Lawndale Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_25\">1420 South Albany Avenue<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_26\">August 29 &#8211; October 31, 2:30pm &#8211; 5:30pm<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_27\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Wednesdays<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_28\"><strong>La Follette Park<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_29\">1333 North Laramie Avenue<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_30\">July 12 &#8211; September 13, 2pm &#8211; 7pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_31\"><strong>Pullman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_32\">111th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_33\">July 5 &#8211; October 25, 7am &#8211; 1pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_34\"><strong>Roseland Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_35\">109th Street and Wentworth Avenue<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_36\">August 30 &#8211; November 1, 2:30pm &#8211; 5:30pm<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_37\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Thursdays<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_38\"><strong>Daley Plaza<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_39\">50 West Washington Street<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_40\">May 11 &#8211; October 26, 7am &#8211; 3pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_41\"><strong>Austin Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_42\">Chicago Avenue and Mayfield Avenue<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_43\">July 13 &#8211; September 14, 2pm &#8211; 7pm<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"arIndex_44\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Saturdays<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"arIndex_45\"><strong>Division Street<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_46\">Division Street and Dearborn Parkway<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_47\">May 13 &#8211; October 28, 7am &#8211; 1pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_48\"><strong>Englewood\/Anchor House<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_49\">76th Street and Racine Avenue<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_50\">July 15 &#8211; September 16, 8am &#8211; 1pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_51\"><strong>Lincoln Park<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_52\">Armitage Avenue and Orchard Street<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_53\">June 3 &#8211; October 28, 7am &#8211; 1pm<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_54\"><strong>Printers Row<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_55\">Dearborn Street and Polk Street<\/p>\n<p id=\"arIndex_56\">June 17 &#8211; October 28, 7am &#8211; 1pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of year!
