Bucktown Arts Fest

Founded by four neighborhood artists more than 30 years ago, the Bucktown Arts Festival has grown into a staple of the summer fest season—and it's returning this year for the first time since 2019. The main attraction is the juried art show, which features work by nearly 200 artists displayed in booths along the street. You'll also find live music on the event's two stages, plus it's free to attend and proceeds benefit arts and education programming at Holstein Park.
