Hyde Park's July Is Packed: Farmers Market Saturdays, the Chosen Few Picnic & Definition Theatre's Resilience Arts Festival Are All on Deck
By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Hyde Park ·
Hyde Park neighbors, your post-holiday weekend is anything but over — and your July calendar has more goodness waiting than you might realize.
First, a weekly reminder worth repeating: the 61st Street Farmers Market is in full summer swing every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with LINK cards matched up to $25, making fresh local produce, meats, and dairy accessible to the whole community. If you haven't made it a Saturday ritual yet, now is the perfect time to start. And just a stone's throw away in Jackson Park, this Saturday, July 11th brings one of the South Side's most beloved summer traditions: the Chosen Few Picnic, the nation's longest-running house music celebration, drawing house music faithful from across the city to the lakefront for a day of community, culture, and Chicago-born sound.
Looking a bit further ahead, Definition Theatre — Hyde Park's homegrown theater company — is bringing the Resilience Arts Festival to the neighborhood next month, a multidisciplinary celebration that promises to be one of the most talked-about cultural events of the summer. Between the farmers market every Saturday, a legendary lakefront picnic this weekend, and a bold new arts festival on the horizon, Hyde Park is proving once again that this neighborhood never really takes a day off.
