The ultimate end of summer festival returns to Chicago’s northside with the 20th Annual Ravenswood Artwalk on Saturday, September 10th and Sunday, September 11th. The Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce (GRCC) partners with the historic Ravenswood Industrial Corridor for a weekend that highlights the bustling hub of artisans, manufacturers, and brewers unlike anyplace else in the city!
Each year, over 10,000 visitors explore the Ravenswood ArtWalk, enjoying a weekend of art, music, food, and community while getting a peek inside the spaces that help define Ravenswood. Stretching from Lawrence to Irving Park along Ravenswood Avenue, “RAW” features open studios and galleries, pop-up performances and activations, an Outdoor Artist Market, Children’s Corner, and a pop-up Beer Garden.
Explore over 25 participating locations and shop from hundreds of local artists at this two-day annual celebration of the arts. Attendees will have the chance to connect with artisans of all kinds including painters, jewelers, brewers, teachers, architects, dancers, potters, photographers, musicians, and more. At the event’s center, the Outdoor Artist Market will feature over 40 makers and artisans, live music from local talent, beer from Begyle Brewing, dance performances by The Hive, a children’s corner with family-friendly activities as well as arts and crafts spread throughout the festival, and a food truck roundup.
