For nearly two decades, The Glenwood Avenue Arts Fest (GAAF) has been a free, weekend-long arts festival that
features 120+ artists, open studios, and live entertainment on two outdoor
stages. Attendees view and purchase handmade artworks directly from the creators. The Fest brings free live music, performances, art demonstrations, street food and craft beer from local merchants on
the cobblestone streets of the Glenwood Avenue Arts District in
Chicago’s historic Rogers Park neighborhood. This year, since residents can't come to the Fest, the Fest is coming to residents.
The 19th annual Fest will take place the weekend of August 14-16, 2020. The Fest is going mobile! The 2020 Fest will feature a moving display of local artwork on two video trucks, bookending local bands performing live on a mobile stage. Tour routes into the residential streets of Rogers Park will happen on mid-day and late afternoon on Saturday and Sunday. We look forward to seeing you this weekend as the Mobile Fest rolls through your neighborhood -- please be sure to maintain a safe distance and wear a mask! |
