Wicker Park Fest

Wicker Park may be overrun with chain restaurants, boutiques and shoe stores, but the neighborhood still clears out Milwaukee Avenue for a street celebration each summer. The main attraction of the annual fest is the music lineup, which typically features some notable touring acts and a long list of local performers. You'll also find plenty of delicious food, sales at local shops, daily fashion shows and twentysomethings watching the festivities from rooftops and balconies.
