Ever wish you could go back in time? Well here’s your chance! Referred to by Patch as a “Generation X haven”, Chicagoans looking for a blast from the past don’t need to look further than the 25th annual Retro on Roscoe festival. Go back in time with music enthusiasts, families, and gearheads for a back in the day weekend.

Three stages will be spread amongst an eminent six-block stretch in Chicago’s favorite Roscoe Village. Live music will play oldies and throwbacks along with popular hits to keep festival goers moving through the hot summer nights! The soundtrack for the annual Retro on Roscoe will be the bomb!

The beautiful tree-lined streets of Roscoe Village will set the scene for artisans, antique vendors and cool merchants in an offbeat shopping atmosphere that is second to none. Roscoe Village’s top restaurants will also serve up much-desired summer treats that will keep the whole family pleased.

After eating some small bites make sure to head over to the family area that offers prime inflatables, delectable crafts, balloon artists, face painting, music, rides and more. Once the kids have their dose of entertainment, put the pedal to the metal with the Antique and Classic Car and Motorcycle Show. Presented by Four Treys Bar, Retro’s Antique Car Show will showcase over 50 antique, classic and muscle cars throughout the festival weekend.

Admission into Retro on Roscoe is a $15 suggested donation. The Roscoe Village Neighbors are a non-profit organization comprised of volunteers that work hard daily to ensure committed excellence in advocacy of quality-of-life for Roscoe Village, its residents, and merchants alike.

This is one of my favorite festivals. It has numerous food vendors and arts / crafts booths. The fest has three music stages with different types of music. The neighborhood is very cool and there plenty of restaurants within the fest which is from oakley to damen on Roscoe. A $10 donation is requested , but no pressure.There is street parking available in the neighborhood.”

– Scott M., 2021 FESTIVAL ATTENDEE

Definitely one of the, if not the best festivals of the season. Terrific beer and food selection, along with some great music on 3 stages. Car show for the gearheads to boot!”
