MIDSOMMARFEST

on CLARK ST in ANDERSONVILLE

For three nights and two days, this vibrant and diverse community will bring together over 80,000 people to celebrate one of Chicago’s oldest and most beloved street festivals – a proud Swedish summer tradition featuring a dynamic line-up of music and an eclectic mix of food vendors, artisans, not-for-profits and local businesses. The festival has become a hallmark event for the Andersonville community showcasing the area’s unique charm and fostering a sense of inclusivity and togetherness. Midsommarfest not only highlights the diversity of the LGBTQIA2+ community, but also serves as a platform for fostering connections, breaking down barriers and celebrating love in all its forms.

Rooted in the Swedish tradition of welcoming the longest day of the year, Andersonville Midsommarfest has grown from a neighborhood parade into a three-day celebration of music, food, art, shopping, and community. Enjoy 50 musical acts across four stages and more than 200 vendors. Midsommarfest also serves as a fundraiser, supporting the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce and more than a dozen local nonprofits each year.

Midsommarfest kicks off Friday, June 12, from 5 pm – 10 pm from Foster Ave. to Gregory St. and continues Saturday, June 13, and Sunday, June 14, from 12 pm – 10 pm.
