The West Town Chamber of Commerce hosts West Fest Chicago, an annual street celebration, on Chicago Avenue between Damen Avenue and Wood Street in Chicago's West Town neighborhood. Since its inception in 2004, West Fest Chicago has developed into one of Chicago's most well-known and well-attended street events. 2020 saw West Fest Chicago go virtual with the hashtag #WestFestChicagoAtHome due to COVID.
What makes West Fest Chicago so unique? The festival is locally organized and administered by the West Town Chamber of Commerce, with a focus on local performers and products. West Fest Chicago includes neighborhood stores and restaurants as vendors in addition to regional artisans and producers of exquisite goods. The event also has Kid Fest, which offers family-friendly activities and live entertainment, Pet Fest, which features charitable dog-related activities, and more.
In addition to featuring cutting-edge live music curated by Empty Bottle Presents and the ever-popular West Fest Chicago House DJ stage, West Fest Chicago is a reflection of the diverse West Town neighborhood.
Attending West Fest Chicago is $10 suggested donation. The West Town Chamber of Commerce, a local 501 C6, receives the proceeds and uses them to support the small companies in West Town Chicago with beneficial activities and services.
