Listen to and jam with our great Maxwell Street Blues musicians. Here is an invitation to the President from Piano C. Red. The Maxwell Street musician regulars all want to jam with you. Meet Piano C., Willie James, David Lindsey, Jamie Guzman, Little Scotty, Al Harris, Iceman Robinson, and others.

Maxwell Street is multi-cultural. It's free. It's public. It's fun. It's near downtown. It's convenient to get to. It's big. The food is great and cheap. There are bargains. It helps the poor. It's a de facto enterprise zone and incubator. It's a micro-enterprise initiative. It's sustainable economic development. See why people from Bangladesh's Grameen Bank, the World Bank, and universities study this place. It's a model for inner city urban economic development.

New York Times Review of the New Maxwell Street Market:

"A brief visit on Sunday morning may be one of the best ways to get a true sense of what Chicago was and is."

Ann Castillo, "Chicago Con Salsa", New York Times Magazine-The Sophisticated Traveler, November 12, 1995, p. 23, 56-60.

Before or after the Market, visit and pray at the historic St. Francis of Assisi Church, Roosevelt and Halsted, about a mile west of the Market. There is plenty of parking available at the University of Illinois lot across the street.
