The Maxwell Street Foundation will be at the New Maxwell Street Market in Chicago on the third Sunday of the month, April through October. Maxwell Street fans can visit our table at the Market on May 20, June 17, July 15, August 19, September 16, and October 21 for a variety of Maxwell Street-themed items ranging from books to posters and T-shirts, and for good conversation about Maxwell Street and the Market.

THE MAXWELL STREET MARKET CONTINUES TO OPERATE EVERY SUNDAY OF THE YEAR ON DESPLAINES AVENUE BETWEEN TAYLOR AND POLK STREETS , 7:00 AM TO 3:00 PM, where you can find bargains, authentic street food, and unique gift and food items on every Sunday of the year.
