ARTS @ WICKER PARK FEST:
Arts at Wicker Park Fest includes some of the year’s most tantalizing installation and performance art curated by renowned Wicker Park artists and arts organizations. The dedicated section within Wicker Park Fest features unique and inspired works in the middle of the action on Milwaukee Avenue throughout the weekend.
Last year, an installation entitled “Universe” provided a contemporary mythological model of the Cosmos, composed of a life-size, sculpted human figure covered with mirrors and tethered to the top of a 20-foot radio tower. Likewise, Collaboraction, Wicker Park’s own nationally-renowned performance art company, presented the Collaboraction “Art Oasis” – an area of art, community, and fun – with interactive art activities such as the Dome of Dance Tournament, an Art Bar, and Break Dancing Workshops.
Arts at Wicker Park Fest is presented by the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber and is generously underwritten by the WPB Special Service Area #33.
KIDS FEST @ WICKER PARK FEST:

Wicker Park Fest is also home to one of the summer’s top fests within a fest – for little ones. Kids Fest at Wicker Park Fest offers a wide variety of children’s programming from noon to 6 pm both days (no additional entrance fee required).
Previous year’s activities have included: cooking demos, crafts tables, nail and face painting, hair streaking, mad science, Henna tattoos, balloon animals, bounce houses, toddler play areas, remote control car racing, a live entertainment kiddo stage and much more.
