Rock Around the Block... entering its 15th season, has been ranked by WXRT Radio as one of the best musical events in Chicago.

Rock features about thirty of the windy city's best bands continuously
performing on three unique stages and four full blocks of interactive fun! Located at one of the most highly visible intersections in Chicago on Lincoln Avenue at Addison.

The Chicago neighborhood of Lakeview is the most populated area in the Midwest largely due to its great dining, shopping and nightlife.

Over 40,000 people jam onto the four city blocks to experience Chicago's ultimate music and culinary fare. If you like to have fun and listen to music then this event is a must see!Artisans and crafts vendors, a wide variety of great food, and an
array of street performers add to this incredible weekend. Rock Around the Block is an over-all great experience!

Rock’s Family Area will feature the Story Bus and will be filled with games and entertainment for those little rockers in the
house. Rock Around the Block, StarEvents and our sponsors created a way to donate $100,000 to the Illinois Military Family Relief Fund in 2005. This year we plan on donating $100,000 of our proceeds to building a park in Lakeview.

We are thrilled that this event provides so much for our community and we appreciate your support
