EXPLORE FULTON MARKET
Saturday, May 10, 2008
noon to 5 p.m.
Spend a May afternoon discovering one of Chicago's
most innovative and dynamic neighborhoods
CHICAGO,
IL - The Fulton Market District, located in Chicago's West Loop,
is having its annual Spring afternoon open house.
The neighborhood festivities will be held on
Saturday, May 10, 2008 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, May 10, 2008, 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.
Plenty of free street parking.
