Second Annual Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival

History
The LPCC is thrilled to announce the second annual Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival. In 2009 the LPCC launched the inaugural Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival complete with unique artisans, diverse Lincoln Park restaurants, live music and exciting entertainment for kids of all ages.
In the spirit of the Chicago street festival model, but with a more refined approach, the Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival features food and drinks from some of the neighborhood’s most famous restaurants and bars. LPCC members were first offered the opportunity to participate as food and merchant vendors at the event to represent the best of what the neighborhood has to offer.
The Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival serves as a vital fundraising effort for the LPCC and helps sustain our mission to invest in new programs and activities that benefit our members and the surrounding community.
Visitors
Visitors to the event, both young and old, are offered a unique representation of what makes Lincoln Park one of Chicago's quintessential neighborhoods.

One of the festival’s biggest assets is its central location. The Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival is held on Racine, between Fullerton and Webster in the heart of Lincoln Park and just steps from DePaul University, public transportation and exciting shopping and dining corridors.
Entertainment
Live music from nationally-recognized musicians and local favorites is always a key aspect of the Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival. Bands are currently being solicited for 2010 - be sure to check the website often for more information. A free children's area and Trebes Park round out the event.
Vendors
The LPCC spends hours working with our membership, as well as neighborhood and Chicago favorites to provide high-end food and merchant vendors for visitors at the event. We appreciate the time, effort and quality products put forth by all of our vendors. If you are interested in becoming a vendor at the Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival, please contact Katie Freese.
