Fulton Market

For one blissful weekend, Fulton Street transforms into an open-air gallery and music venue for the West Loop Art Fest. Shop more than four blocks of art for purchase at this family-friendly festival in Fulton Market, where you'll also enjoy live music and plenty of solid dining options nearby.

Chicago's largest Oktoberfest celebration is returning to the heart of Fulton Market. Located just behind Restaurant Row at 171 N. Peoria St., this lively six-week German fest is pouring Hofbräu München beer imported directly from Germany. Guests can also expect Bavarian pretzels, brats, live German music, carnival games and more.
