​

West Fest Chicago is an annual street festival held in Chicago’s West Town Community on Chicago Avenue between Damen Avenue and Wood Street presented by the West Town Chamber of Commerce. West Fest Chicago began in 2004 and has since grown into one of Chicago’s most popular and well attended street festivals. In 2020 West Fest Chicago went virtual #WestFestChicagoAtHome, and pending safety protocols and permits, the event will return to Chicago Avenue in 2021.

​

What makes West Fest Chicago so unique? The festival stands out because it is locally planned and managed by the West Town Chamber of Commerce, thus the emphasis is on local offerings and talent. West Fest Chicago presents neighborhood retailers and restaurants, plus local fine artists and makers as vendors. The event also features Pet Fest with dog activities for charity, and Kid Fest with family activities and live entertainment, and more.

West Fest Chicago reflects the eclectic West Town community, and is also renown for cutting edge live music programmed by Empty Bottle Presents, plus the ever popular West Fest Chicago House DJ stage.

​

There is a $10 suggested donation to attend West Fest Chicago. Proceeds benefit the West Town Chamber of Commerce, a local 501 C6 providing valuable programs and services for the small businesses in West Town Chicago.
