Overview
- The Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce confirmed the three-day festival will run on Milwaukee Avenue with Ryan Davis & The Roadhouse Band, The Frights and Ovlov as headliners.
- Organizers said they will publish the full music lineup and schedule later this month to fill out the festival program.
- The chamber is asking for a $10 suggested donation at the gate and cited the 2025 Save Our Street Fests coalition as part of a push to rebuild funding after post-pandemic attendance and revenue declines.
- More than 150 brick-and-mortar shops and local restaurants are expected to set up booths, and the event will include Kids Fest and Pet Fest activities that raise money for Friends of Burr Elementary School and local animal charities.
- Chamber Director Pamela Maass said last year’s attendance boost gave the organization a new level of confidence and urged continued public support to ensure future street fests can continue.
