Fulton Market Events to Check Out

Home to restaurants, music venues and cultural landmarks, Chicago’s Fulton Market might be the most fun neighborhood in the city. Here, you can find an art gallery opening happening one day and a musical show the next – and you can always take advantage of the many incredible dining options right at your doorstep.

Chicago is a city of seasons, and as such, has events that rotate depending on time of year and the weather. One of the biggest advantages of living in Fulton Market is having quick access to both seasonal and evergreen events without ever having to leave your neighborhood.

The key to taking advantage of these goings-on is knowing where and when to look for them.

Things to Do in Fulton Market

Many venues and restaurants consistently have events going on. Some include:

• Fulton Market Kitchen is a restaurant that hosts both private parties and various art-based events such as artist galleries and live paintings.
• The United Center, of course, is a stone’s throw from Fulton Market and is home to both the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks teams. When sports aren’t happening, you can expect a rotation of high-profile concerts here.

• Time Out Market, located in the heart of Fulton Market, has DJs, jazz brunches and a slate of cooking classes to attend all throughout the year. This is a great option for events including kids!
• Punch Bowl Social, a dual-level bar and game complex, is often the center of formal and informal meet-ups hosted by groups such as Meetup.
