By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Rogers Park · July 27, 2026

Rogers Park neighbors, mark your calendars: one of the Far North Side's most colorful and joyful community traditions is headed your way this August. Chalk Howard Street — a street art festival celebrating creativity, color, and community — is set for Saturday, August 22, transforming Howard Street into a living, breathing outdoor gallery right in the heart of the neighborhood.

And Chalk Howard Street isn't the only reason to get excited. The Glenwood Sunday Market is currently rolling through its landmark 17th season, making it one of the longest-running outdoor markets on Chicago's North Side. Week after week, the market brings together local farmers, artisan vendors, and neighbors for a Sunday ritual that feels uniquely, unmistakably Rogers Park. Whether you're a longtime regular or a first-time visitor, there's never been a better summer to show up and support the makers and growers who call this neighborhood home.

With Chalk Howard Street on August 22 and the Glenwood Sunday Market running strong all season long, Rogers Park's summer arts calendar is stacked — and the best is still ahead. Head over to rpba.org and rogersparkil.memberzone.com for full event details, schedules, and ways to get involved. Rogers Park, your streets are about to become a canvas.
