Wicker Park Fest

Wicker Park Fest has consistently been ranked as one of the top Chicago street fests. Located on Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park, this huge festival caters to young and old alike with cutting edge performances, high-quality food and beverages, a kids area benefiting local schools and a truly unique selection of retail vendors, reflecting the eclectic neighborhood.

One of the biggest challenges with this festival is that the location is in the heart of a very, very busy area. It's no small feat to shut down a major traffic artery, install 3 stages, the event's electrical grid, 10 food vendors and over 80 retail vendors in under 11 hours. We revel in the challenge and get the event ready and open on time, even in spite of a thunderstorm that stalled overhead for 5 hours during the set-up in 2010.

For Wicker Park Fest we provide planning, vendor recruiting, logistics and operations management as well as run-of-event operations management, stage management, security and gate staffing.
