Maxwell Street Foundation concludes its 2018 seasonal presence at the Maxwell Street Market
The Maxwell Street Foundation concluded its 2018 season at the New Maxwell Street Market on Desplaines Avenue in October. Members vended a variety of Maxwell Street-themed items ranging from books to posters and T-shirts, and engaged in good conversation about Maxwell Street history and the continued vibrancy of the marketplace on Desplaines. Please continue to shop for our selected items on our website at maxwellstreetfoundation.org/support-us, and continue our conversations by telling your authentic Maxwell Street stories at SUBMIT YOUR STORY.

The Foundation thanks the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) who run markets citywide, for their support of the Maxwell Street Foundation at the Maxwell Street Market and the celebration of its legacy as Chicago’s longest-standing and official open-air market created by city ordinance in 1912.
