Mayfest will take over Armitage Avenue between Sheffield and Racine from May 15–17.
The weekend-long block party promises dozens of art and retail vendors, live music across two stages, local food and beverage options, and kid-friendly activities.
The event is free and open to the public, with a $10 suggested donation supporting the Ranch Triangle Community Conservation Association (RTCCA).
“We are so excited to be hosting the 5th Annual Lincoln Park Mayfest, we have wonderful artisans, music and fun,” said RTCCA President Erma Tranter.
“Thanks to all fest attendees, the suggested gate donation helps to keep these annual fests going strong for all to enjoy.”
