Festival Description & Highlights

NEW THIS YEAR! We’re adding a second Magnificent Mile Art Festival this fall!

The Fall Magnificent Mile Art Festival showcases the original art of 60 artists in the plaza and sidewalks of 875 North Michigan Avenue (previously known as the Hancock Building) in this free to the public arts event.  Festival hours are 10 am – 5 pm daily. The event is ADA accessible and hosted by 875 North Michigan Avenue and The Magnificent Mile Association in conjunction with Amdur Productions.

Michigan Avenue, also called “The Magnificent Mile” is Chicago’s world renowned  upscale shopping area playing host to world class luxury stores, boutiques, residences and offices. Tourists, residents and area professionals pack the area daily.

Area residents have an average household net worth of over $790,000 and 38% of the residents have graduate degrees or higher. The combination of wealth, education, and lots of foot and vehicular traffic makes this location a great place to show and sell your art.
