Chicago’s iconic Southport Corridor will bloom to life when Southport Art Fest takes over in July of 2024. Featured in TimeOut Chicago as one of the “Best Festivals in Town,” the event will feature an assorted mix of artistic styles and mediums in a picture-perfect Chicago neighborhood. The best artists from all over the country will participate in this show!

Just steps away from the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, the two-day festival will showcase a diverse array of visual arts, live performances, and interactive experiences that captivate the imagination of attendees. A perfect place to spend the weekend with your family and enjoy all that Southport Art Fest has to offer. A special kid’s area has been designed with interactive games and activities, ideal for the artist to shine in every kid.

The festival’s commitment to fostering a connection between artists and the community adds depth to the overall experience, creating meaningful interactions that go beyond the canvas. Southport Art Fest benefits the Southport Neighbors Association. Since 1988, Southport Neighbors Association (SNA) has represented the residents and businesses of the unique and energetic neighborhood, in the heart of Lakeview. Admission is free.

Southport Art Fest is produced and managed by StarEvents.
