Some Chicago City Markets Will Open in June and July
Some Chicago City Markets managed by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) will open in June and July to increase neighborhood access to fresh and healthy food. DCASE will take necessary precautions to encourage social distancing and to protect customers and vendors.
Chicago City Markets will be located in Austin, Bronzeville, Division Street, Englewood, La Follette Park, Printers Row, Pullman, Roseland and West Humboldt Park. Currently, the locations at Daley Plaza and Federal Plaza remain tentative for the 2020 season.
Face coverings will be required at all times. Vendor booths will be spaced six feet apart and shoppers must enter and exit at clear access points and maintain appropriate physical distancing.
Additionally, DCASE is helping to facilitate the reopening of independently run farmers markets citywide. All markets, whether on private or public property, are required to register and seek approval before opening.
