Fodor's Expert Review Maxwell Street Market

West Loop Market
Free

This legendary outdoor bazaar, which operates every first and third Sunday from 9 to 3, is part of Chicago's cultural landscape. Closed by the city amid much controversy in the 1990s, it reopened soon after in its current location and remains a popular spot, particularly for Latinx immigrants, to buy and sell wares year-round. The finds aren't so fabulous, but the atmosphere sure is fun, with live blues and stalls peddling Mexican street food.
