Chicago street festival season is here! If the weather can bother rising above 50 degrees (isn’t it springtime?!), here are a couple fests I wouldn’t mind hitting up:

Starting this weekend, Randolph Street Market is returning to the streets and celebrating its 10 year anniversary with games, food, a beer garden, and body painting. Expect to discover hard to find vinyl and vintage housewares and apparel while sipping craft beer from 10 am to 5 pm Saturday and Sunday. Where: Randoph and Ogden

If you love a great cover band, like i do, hit up Belmont Sheffield Music Fest Saturday and Sunday anytime from noon to 10 pm. This Lakeview staple will feature cover bands all weekend. My pick? Trippin’ Billies (a Dave Matthews coverband) hitting the stage tonight at 8 pm. The lead singer’s voice is dead on (pretty much)!

If you don’t see me, here’s a list of eight folks you’ll most definitely run into at these or any one of the Chicago street festivals this season:

The Creeper

"Hey, Honey. What's your sign?"

Seriously, this guy has no idea he's famous!
