Saturday, July 22nd & Sunday, July 23rd, 2006 - Chicago, IL

The Wicker Park Summer Fest is a two-day, all-day event featuring music presented by Silver Wrapper. We will be putting on 2 days of music on the South Stage at the Milwaukee/North/Damen intersection and 2 late night events at venues close-by. The festival will span the entire weekend beginning Saturday the 22nd of July at 12 noon and ending Sunday the 23rd of July concluding at 2 AM. This year, we've even put together a pre-party, just to warm up for the weekend; it takes place on Wednesday the 19th of July.

Ticket Information

There are no passes needed for the day events. That's right, the day events are FREE. A $5 donation is suggested, benefiting the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce, who was nice enough to let us put the talent for the South Stage together. We will be selling late night tickets for the two concerts individually. Online ticket sales begin Saturday, June 10th at 12 noon CST.
