Welcome to Old Town

Old Town Chicago is a vibrant and historically rich neighborhood on the north side of Chicago, which is known for its architecture, culture, art, theater, and  multigenerational businesses, including historical bars, quaint unique shops, and culinary gems.
The Old Town Merchants & Residents Association (OTMRA) is a Chamber of Commerce and More.  We are a  non-profit organization that connects area residents, small businesses, and cultural organizations. Our goal is to continue Old Town’s evolution as a safe and vibrant location to live, work and laugh.
We host the Wells Street Art Festival, celebrating its 50th year on June 14 and June 15th of 2025!
