Fresh Beats & Local Eats: Lincoln Square Farmers Market Brings Chicago’s North Side to Life

Chicago’s North Side is about to smell a whole lot sweeter. The Lincoln Square Farmers Market isn’t just a place to score the season’s freshest produce—it’s a weekly street-level celebration of food, music, and community that feels more like a block party than a grocery run.

Every Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon, more than 50 vendors set up shop at 4513 N. Lincoln Avenue, transforming the neighborhood into a vibrant crossroads where local farmers, artisans, and culinary renegades collide. From hand-picked heirloom tomatoes to small-batch baked goods and bold coffee roasts, the market is a full-on sensory explosion.

The Tuesday Morning Market kicks off bright and early at 7:00 a.m. and runs through noon, with an extended season that grooves all the way to November 18, 2025. For the night owls, the Thursday Evening Market keeps the party rolling from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.—but take note, there’s no market on May 29 or September 4, 2025.

This year, the market lands in a fresh spot—4513 N Lincoln Ave, in the parking lot just north of Sunnyside Avenue. Whether you’re stocking up on kale, hunting for small-batch hot sauce, or just vibing with the local crowd, Lincoln Square is where Chicago’s farm-to-table heartbeat is loudest.
