The performance area of CC Moore Homestead Playground becomes an outdoor food bazaar for the day, right off Broadway in Elmhurst, one of the most food-diverse neighborhoods in the city. At Elmhurst Day in June, IGA's bazaar in this same playground served Indonesian food and staged a Balinese dance. If you like community-run food markets more than polished festivals, make it part of an Elmhurst food crawl this weekend.
What to expect
Food stalls cluster around the playground's performance area, and you can graze from table to table in a small, neighborhood-scale setting. The organizers haven't posted this date's vendors or program, so treat it as a casual stop and pair it with the restaurants along Broadway.
Good to know
- Take the M or R to Elmhurst Av, which lets out a short walk from the playground on Broadway
- Bring cash; community food bazaars often have vendors who don't take cards
- Arrive hungry and early for the best choice before popular dishes sell out
- It's an open public playground, so it works well for families with kids
- Elmhurst's Broadway restaurant strip is steps away if you want to keep eating
