Festival Description & Information

Amdur Productions is excited to announce its newest Chicago neighborhood art festival, the Edgewater Arts Festival, this September 25-26, 2027! 

Edgewater is a beautiful lakefront neighborhood on Chicago’s North Side. Edgewater is known for its mix of historic character, beach vibes, and relaxed, residential feel.

Edgewater is considered one of Chicago’s more inclusive neighborhoods, with a range of housing from vintage walk-ups, iconic greystones, soaring mid-century lakefront high-rises, century-old single-family homes, and beautiful historic mansions.

Economically and culturally, Edgewater revolves around small businesses, local restaurants, and neighborhoods. Granville Avenue is where you’ll find everything from international cuisine to antique shops and coffeehouses. 

The festival takes place on Granville Avenue from Broadway to Sheridan. Booths are along the curb on either side of the street. Load-in is Friday evening and artists are able to drive up right to their space to unload. This festival is a sure bet!
