Summer Festivals in Lake View
Kicking off next weekend!
Although not as warm as prior years, you know it is summer when the street festivals come to the neighborhoods. 
 
Summer kicks off with the Belmont-Sheffield Music Fest next weekend (May 31 - June 1) on Sheffield just north of Belmont.  See the line up. 
 
LVECC presents Art View in Lake View: An Evening of Art, Food, and Wine on Friday, June 5th.   Complimentary trolley service.  Details.
 
Taste all the North Halsted street has to offer in Halsted Tastes Better on June 16th.  Details.
 
Chicago Pride Fest on June 28th is the day before the Pride Parade on June 29th.  This year's line up includes Kimerberly Locke and Frenchie Davis (both of American Idol) and Tiffany.   See the line up.
 
Half way through the summer LVCC presents the annual Lake View Music Fest on Sheffield.   This two day event on July 5-6th brings together all different music styles (and saves you from the crowds of downtown).  Learn more.
