This Week in Andersonville & Uptown: Argyle Night Market Returns

Your week-ahead guide to Andersonville & Uptown — 4 picks worth planning around

By Raj Singh · Published July 5, 2026.

Market season is in full swing up north — from Chicago's only Monday farmers market in Edgewater to Andersonville's midweek spread. The headliner is Thursday's Argyle Night Market, and there's a buzzy theater premiere in Uptown the same night if you want to make an evening of it.

MONDAY 7/6

Edgewater Monday Market @ Broadway Armory

Billed as Chicago's only Monday farmers market, it fills the Broadway Armory parking lot in Edgewater with 40-plus vendors, 3–7 p.m., June through September.

Pair it with an injera platter at Ras Dashen up Broadway.

WEDNESDAY 7/8

Andersonville Farmers Market @ Berwyn & Clark

The neighborhood's afternoon-into-evening market runs 3–8 p.m. on Berwyn between Clark and Ashland — a relaxed, dinner-hour crawl through Andersonville.

Swing into Lost Larson on Clark for a cardamom bun on the way through.

THURSDAY 7/9

Argyle Night Market @ Argyle Street

Uptown's beloved night market is back for Thursday nights through August, with an expanded footprint down Argyle from Sheridan. Street food, vendors, and the best people-watching on the North Side, from 5 p.m.

Come hungry: grilled skewers and a Vietnamese iced coffee, then a banh mi from Ba Le on Argyle.

THURSDAY 7/9

Smiley @ Open Space Arts

The North American English-language premiere of Guillem Clua's international hit — a wrong-number voicemail turns into an unlikely romance. 7:30 p.m. at Open Space Arts in Uptown; $30.

Dinner first at Demera for the Ethiopian tibs, a few blocks south.

Plenty more where that came from — see more Andersonville & Uptown events.
