“Mayfest is a nice get together to kick off the summer fest season. The bands are good. I saw Rod Tuff Curls. The drinks were good too. They had some good beers and the sangria was excellent. They had many food choices as well. $10 cover because it’s on private property. Good to go to if you are not too far away.”
–  2018 FESTIVAL ATTENDEE

“From Mayfest to Andersonville to Roscoe Village to Taste of Lincoln Ave, I know that if I’m ever looking for something to do on a weekend during the summer, there will usually be a Star Events street fest pretty close by to go and hang out at, have some cold beers, do some great people watching, and get my Summer fix of outdoor fun in the sun!”

#TeamTuesday Hello Chicago! We decided to mix thi #TeamTuesday 
Hello Chicago! We decided to mix things up and introduce you to the best Event Planning Team in the Midwest! Up first is our amazing Event Manager, Jessie! 

1. “What’s your spirit animal?” 
-My Spirit Animal would be a dog because I am loyal, friendly, and happy :) 

2. “What was your dream job growing up?” 
- My dream job was to be a famous rockstar or a special education teacher. I studied music in college and fell in love with live events, so now I’m working my dream job as an event manager! 

3. “What’s on your bucket list?” 
- I have two major bucket list goals: Travel to Germany, I have family living in Germany so I’d love to learn about my culture and family history, and Adopt a dog! 

4. “Any hidden talents?” 
- I can sing! 

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Jessie! Tune in next Tuesday to learn more about the StarEvents Family!
