Summertime Chi is finally here, and we’ve got another can’t-miss street festival to have on your radar.
Wicker Park Fest is back this July bringing a full weekend of live music, street vendors, and community activations to one of Chicago’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
Here’s what’s on the schedule.
Wicker Park Fest ’26
The 2026 edition of Wicker Park Fest includes headlining performances from some of today’s best bands.
Big names include garage punk act The Frights, Americana rockers Ryan Davis & the Roadhouse Band, and shoegazers Ovlov.
The festival will also include dozens of local art and retail vendors, food and beverage options, dance and cultural performances, and other activations.
And here’s the best part—admission is free!
Those who feel inclined can give a $10 suggested donation to support the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce.
