A West Town favorite, Do Division Street Fest is officially returning at the end of the month—expect three days of live music, local vendors, fashion, food, and family-friendly programming along Division Street between Damen and Leavitt.
Chicago’s iconic 3-day street fest returns to West Town
The festival will feature two live music stages curated by The Empty Bottle and Subterranean. The east stage, programmed by Empty Bottle Presents, will showcase diverse and emerging artists, while Subterranean will lead the west stage with a lineup of current and popular acts. Headlining performances include Adrian Younge, Pete & Bas, Wild Pink, Lady Wray, Wombo, and Spitalfield alongside a wide range of local and national talent.
And this isn’t just for adults—there will be a dedicated Family Fun Fest area featuring a petting zoo, a mega slide, live entertainment, and kid-focused activities, creating an environment for guests of all ages.
Rob Guerrera, Director of Community Development for the West Town Chamber of Commerce, said:
Do Division Street Fest is all about bringing the community together through music, local businesses, and shared experiences
We’re proud to create a space where neighbors and visitors alike can connect, discover something new, and celebrate the energy of West Town.
In addition to music, the Do Division Street Fest offers a variety of selections from local restaurants, food trucks, and vendors. Attendees can also explore West Town retailers and works by local artists and makers. A highlight of the festival is Do Fashion, a runway show organized by Dynamic Salon that showcases independent boutiques and fashion-forward businesses in the area, further establishing Division Street as a chic destination.
While this is a free festival, a $10 donation is encouraged and supports local organizations Esperanza, Nourishing Hope, and Erie House.
The Division Fest will take place from May 29 through May 31.
