The 29th annual “Artists of the Wall Festival” is returning to Rogers Park for Father’s Day weekend. The free interactive festival will hit Loyola Beach June 18 with 160 vibrant murals, 12 live bands, dance performances and kids’ activities.
Sponsored by the nonprofit, Rogers Park Business Alliance, the longstanding community event is a fundraiser for the Loyola Park Advisory Council, an all-volunteer team of Rogers Park residents behind the many events that frequent one of Chicago’s favorite parks.
This year’s event, themed “World of Tomorrow,” will feature live band performances of folk, rock and jazz on a 20-foot stage in the meadow in Loyola Park. Third Estate Art will host a kids’ activities tent where kids of all ages can paint their vision for the future world. The Chicago Coast Guard Auxiliary will provide water safety along with coloring books for kids.
Catch the “Artists of the Wall Festival” June 18-19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Loyola Park and Beach between Farwell and Morse. For a complete list of events, visit the Loyola Park website. Donations are also accepted online.
