Artists of the Wall Festival
The Rogers Park neighborhood will hold a festival this weekend to gather and paint more than 100 beachfront murals. This might be one of the few summer street fests where you can avoid the cover bands, cheap sunglasses vendors, and getting your picture taken with “The Wave Guy”. I can't guarantee any of that, but this one looks to be organized somewhat differently.
I wish I'd told you about it sooner, Alexis. I read about it a month ago, but forgot to post it until today.
how ironic, given we were just talking about the general uniformity of Chicago street fests.
