Wicker Park Fest Is Returning This Summer

The Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce has announced the three-day festival will return for their 18th annual event.

Known as one of the most anticipated summer events, the Wicker Park Fest is set to take place on July 22-24th.

Taking place between Milwaukee Avenue from North Avenue to Paulina Street, the event will feature over 50 incredible live music acts, with beloved local venue Subterranean serving as a partner and helping curate the lineup, and plenty of dance performances to enjoy.

Special art installations, presented by Special Service Area #33, will include thought-provoking sculptures, interactive exhibits and local artist spotlights in the designated Arts Area. With over 100 retail vendors set to line the streets and dozens of local vendors serving food and drinks, there’s no shortage of fun to be had at the event of the season.

Don’t forget about the Kids Fest that benefits Blurr Elementary. Taking place at Wolcott and Milwaukee Avenues, the exclusive child-friendly area will feature family-fun programming.

A generous $10 donation at the gate benefits the nonprofit Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce and comes with festival pin perks, including more than 20 discounts from vendors and businesses in the area. Volunteer opportunities will also be available, so check back for more details as they emerge.

Get ready to celebrate the vibrant Wicker Park community at the Wicker Park Fest. It’s sure to be a good time for all. For more information, visit www.wickerparkbucktown.com.
