most innovative and dynamic neighborhoods
CHICAGO, IL - The Fulton Market District, located in Chicago's West Loop,
is having its annual Fall afternoon open house. The neighborhood festivities will be held on
Sat. Oct 24th... from 12 noon to 5 P.M.
Chicagoans and visitors alike are invited to discover the area that is home to some of the city's most innovative galleries, restaurants, and boutiques.
Fulton Market offers a mysterious mixture of new and old. The weekday visitor will encounter an eclectic mix of artists, residents, and warehouse workers. The area, popularized as a food-warehousing district, has evolved, integrating art galleries, boutiques, apartment lofts, and restaurants among the still functioning warehouse buildings. On a typical workday, you can see area residents weaving their paths among forklifts and trucks on the busy streets.
"Explore Fulton Market" is a yearly event, organized by area businesses, welcoming the public to taste the strange brew that makes up Fulton Market. Whether looking for a photography studio, funky artwork, fine dining, or boutique sneakers, Fulton Market has something for everyone.
The event will be held Saturday, October 24, 2009, from 12 noon to 5 P.M.
in the West Loop on Fulton Market Street.
All ages are welcome, and there is no admission fee for entry.
