With Halloween less than a week away, the Northwest Side community wasted no time getting into the spooky spirit.
The Wicker Park-Bucktown Chamber of Commerce hosted its Halloween-themed farmers market and "Meet Me on Milwaukee" events on Sunday.
This year, there are over 60 vendors at the market, Wicker Park-Bucktown Chamber of Commerce Pamela Maass said.
Some of the spooky activities include trick-or-treating, costumes, a scavenger hunt, face painting and more.
"Our team is dressing up as villains, so I know I'm currently a pumpkin, but don't get me wrong, I will be Captain Hook later today," Maass said.
Walgreens will also host a free flu shot and COVID vaccine clinic.
Nicole Kmiotek is the founder of the Coffee Nook, a coffee company that's grown with this farmers market.
"I am working in to a brick-and-mortar and being here I have had the opportunity to build a client base, try new recipes, perfect my own in-house syrups. I have a chai coming to market," Kmiotek said.
The farmers market is happening near Damen and Schiller.
Heads up! Parking is expected to be tight; organizers encourage drivers to arrive early.
