NorthHalsted Business Alliance is holding a Winter Fest for the first time later this month, with hopes that fire dancers, an ice sculptor and free hot soup will attract people out into the cold. In the 7-Eleven parking lot at 3407 N. Halsted St., an artist will be sculpting chunks of ice into works of art with a chainsaw during the day. At Taverna 750's patio, 750 W. Cornelia Ave., dancers will be performing with fire. And outside Kit Kat Lounge, 3700 N Halsted St., the club's drag queen divas will be dressed up as ice kings and queens for photos. - DNAinfo 2014 - and currently called ...

Attendees will vote for “Chicago’s Best Taco” winner
Back in 1963 Al Weisman's neighbor on Oakdale Avenue gave him one as a gift, and he was faced with a decision: He could just hang it out a window, or he could hold it up and march around the neighborhood with local children. So he rounded up less than 10 neighborhood kids, including his son Tony. A girl who played violin strummed the only song she knew, the Israeli national anthem "Hatikva." - DNAinfo 2013

Twelve Bars of Christmas
December since 1996Popularly known as TBOX, which stands for Twelve Bars of
Xmas, is an annual pub crawl
Police estimated 30,000 participants descended upon this
North Side neighborhood for the annual Twelve Bars of Christmas, or TBOX, pub
crawl, involving more than 50 establishments. Organizer Festa Parties said
18,500 people registered, but "thousands" stayed away due to the
weather. The event was highly anticipated by bar-goers, judging by social media
posts, and greeted apprehensively by business owners, who took the brunt of
mayhem brought on by the 40,000 partiers who attended last year's event. Saturday's
below-freezing temperatures didn't dissuade TBOX bar hoppers, whose costumes
ranged from the traditional Santa to sexy snowmen to Macaulay Culkin's
character from "Home Alone." - DNA info 2013Other Outdoor Events:such as Live Lakeview

This neighborhood bike ride happens on mostly every Sunday - even in the winter months at 10am for about an hours worth. This event starts at Seminary and Waveland Avenues next to Wrigley Field with a post-ride gathering at a new or popular destination.
A November ride in 2012This a free hour-long neighborhood social ride is organized by the Lake View Citizens Council. Helmets are required and be sure to bring a lock so you can join us for social time afterward. This social ride is traditional on the second Sunday of every month. The rides are geared toward all of our neighbors so bring your kids and your grandparents for that matter! Local elected officials and neighborhood police are also invited to join every month.Lake View Chamber of Commerce photo Feb. 2011 below

The Halloween Parade 2013
I volunteered to participate in the 2013 parade afterexperiencing the event either along the sidelines along the route or seating at
Side Track watching it from video monitors with a 'tall one' on hand. That year
I wanted to experience it first-hand. That year prizes were given after the
parade for different categorizes. Below are pictures of the event from a
volunteer perspective.
