Music lovers never want to miss the eclectic music line-up of Wicker Park Fest, scheduled for July 26-28, 2024. This popular neighborhood fest draws visitors from across the country who love cutting-edge sounds and funky arts and crafts vendors.
Trendy Wicker Park has been the headquarters for a diverse selection of music for years and Wicker Park Fest showcases that with a great line-up curated by the beloved Subterranean Lounge.
This year’s acts include Chicago singer-songwriter-poet Jamila Woods, alt-rock band Superdrag and Seattle rock band La Luz. In honor of the 40th anniversary of house music, “The Home of House” program will feature house DJs on July 28.
Food, art, a kid’s fest area and neighborhood retail vendors are also part of the fun. The fest is free but there’s a $10 suggested donation to benefit the local community. Wicker Park Fest runs from 5-10 pm on Friday, July 26 and noon-10 pm on Saturday and Sunday, July 27 and 28.
