Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival
Who, What, Where, When...
Third Annual Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival
Chicago's Fantastic Summer Months
Racine Between Webster and Fullerton
History
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.
In 2010 the LPCC's Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival drew more than 80 artists across seemingly every medium out there today.
In 2011, the event grew for the third straight year, featuring Chicago favorites the Freddy Jones Band and about 100 artists, all reporting sales from the event.
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. 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.
Artists interested in showcasing their wares at the 2012 Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival can contact Chicago Special Events Management.
Volunteers
Thank you to our dedicated volunteers in 2011! The 2011 Lincoln Park Arts & Music Festival would not be possible without your help!
The LPCC will be soliciting LPCC and community members to serve as volunteers at the event in the future. Volunteers help take tickets, collect entrance fees, pour beer, entertain children and assist revelers in whatever way necessary.
