What a great week of live music we got coming to Chicago this week! Festival season is pretty much done here in Chicago.. sad to say.

Phases of the Moon Festival this week in Kennekuk County Park, IL

Post date September 9, 2014

4 day camping event that will be held at the beautiful 3000 acre Kennekuk County Park in Danville, IL. The site itself, with its historic collection of turn-of-the-century buildings, prairie lands, lakes and meandering streams, give one the feeling of small town America. This is your invitation! Hang with us for four days of 100% organic, guaranteed feel good music, performed by nationally renowned musicians on 4 unique outdoor stages.

“We’ve always looked to the moon with a great fascination and wonder. Its phases represent a cycle of renewal and a guiding light through darkness. The moon exerts a powerful pull on both the ocean tides and on our human emotions. As we began to create our festival, we thought, what better way to express the uplifting power of music and its relationship with nature than by naming it Phases of the Moon!”

The Boulevard Festival this weekend in Logan Square!

Post author By admin
Post date August 18, 2014

The Boulevard is a classic Chicago event that is as diverse as the neighborhood itʼs located in. Logan Square, the backdrop for The Boulevard, is a historic Chicago neighborhood filled with beautiful century-old mansions and packed with culinary gems.
Bands on our two stage festival are an eclectic batch of some of Chicago’s hippest bands. Our line-up is one not to miss this summer. Chicago’s favorite independent promoters, Silver Wrapper, have curated one of the stages that will feature incredible talent throughout the weekend.
This event doesn’t only differ in talent. We carefully select some delicious craft beers… some that aren’t typically offered at other street festivals… YES!
A portion of the proceeds benefit the mission and outreach of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of Logan Square, active community member for over 100 years. Festival entry is a $5 suggested donation.
