This Weekend: Wicker Park Fest Returns

Enjoy live music, local food and drinks in Wicker Park this weekend.

Wicker Park Fest, one of Chicago’s biggest and most anticipated street festivals, returns for its 18th year this Friday, Saturday and Sunday to take over Milwaukee Avenue, from Damen Avenue to Paulina Street with three full days of art and music.

A “music-first” festival, Wicker Park Festival organizers partnered with neighborhood venue Subterranean to curate a lineup of more than 40 artists and musicians like Nnamdï, Matt Muse, Bumbac Joe, Lester Rey and many more for festival-goers to enjoy.
