Taste Of Lincoln Avenue

The major fundraiser for Wrightwood Neighbors Association, proceeds from this festival go right back into the community: local elementary & high schools, food pantries, after school programs and more!!! Get ready for 2017 to be a blast! One of the city’s largest and most popular summer celebrations, the Taste of Lincoln Avenue celebrated more than 30 years of fundraising!

This iconic event sprawls over six city blocks on a major artery in the heart of Lincoln Park where high
incomes meet the vibrant DePaul University population. Once home to Chicagos original club scene, today the neighborhood is home to many of the citys acclaimed theaters and music venues as well as top restaurants.

Taste of Lincoln Avenue began as a small neighborhood fundraiser and has grown to become the second largest street festival in the region. The event features more than 150 vendors and more than 30 music acts on 3 stages. Every music genre is represented: from Funk and country to rock and folk.

Another up-and-coming Taste of Lincoln Avenue highlight is the Lill Street Craft Fair, a juried art event featuring unique DIY and handmade art.

There’s also a wildly popular one-block Kids’ Carnival area with live entertainment, art and crafts activities, carnival style games, facepainting and much more!The major fundraiser for Wrightwood Neighbors Association, proceeds from this festival go right back into the community: local elementary & high schools, food pantries, after school programs
