Thank you for your continued support of Mayfest, StarEvents’ longest running festival.  As you may know, last week Governor JB Pritzker extended the stay-at-home order until June 1st.  This means that all public events in May have been cancelled, including Mayfest.  Though we are disappointed that we will not be able to celebrate the kick off to summer with you at this wonderful community event, we are respecting the decisions made by the CDC and by our government.  We are doing everything we can to help flatten the curve and stop the spread of COVID-19, and this includes respecting social distancing guidelines.
We are excited to bring this event back to Lincoln Park in 2021 to celebrate Mayfest’s 25th year!  Mayfest will be hosted on May 28-30, 2021, Memorial Day weekend. We look forward to celebrating with you when it is safe to do so.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.  Stay safe and healthy!
Sincerely,
StarEvents

Chicago’s Mayfest is the annual kick-off event for our summer festival season. Join us this year as we celebrate our 25th year, and we’ll promise to give you a weekend of endless fun. Formerly a parking lot block party in Lakeview, Mayfest has moved to its new home in the heart of Lincoln Park! Mayfest will be located on Armitage at Sheffield, less than one block from the Armitage brown line stop, from May 29-31, 2020. Celebrate Memorial Day weekend with the best music and ice cold beer!

This event is known for showcasing some of the best music, entertainment, and festival food in all of Chicago. What could be better? Come out and celebrate summer, rain or shine!

Admission is a $10 suggested donation at the gate (cash only).

“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!”
