Do Division Street Fest, rings in Summer Fest Season for a 9th consecutive year.

DO DIVISION STREET FEST, MAY 29 – 31


Announcing Family Fun Fest Stage Lineup & Activities

 

 

CHICAGO (May 20, 2015) – The Do Division Street Fest & Sidewalk Sale (do-divisionstreetfest.com), which returns to kick off the season with a bang for the ninth consecutive time, May 29 – 31, announced today the Family Fun Fest stage lineup and activities.   Shopping is merely one diversion at the signature street fest, which features some of summer concert season’s most critically-acclaimed acts year after year. Along with two stages of live entertainment booked by Chicago’s own Empty Bottle and Subterranean, Do Division also offers 10 blocks of local designers and boutiques, artisans, restaurants and family fun for its anticipated 60,000-plus attendees. The 2015 edition is located on Division from Ashland to Leavitt, and costs only $5 (optional donation) for admittance.

 

The Family Fun Fest

The Family Fun Fest is the exclusive family and kid-friendly area at Do Division. This is the 7th year the family fest-within-a-fest takes place from noon to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday. The Family Fun Fest consumes multiple blocks of its own (just off the main Do Division drag on Hoyne Avenue between Crystal and Potomac and on Crystal Street between Hoyne and Damen).   Presented by Marbles: the Brain Store, Family Fun Fest is the premiere kid area of one of the City’s signature street festivals.

 

Highlights of the Family Fun Fest include:

  • The Quaker Oats Company returns for a second year-in-a-row with its sports-infused activity area.
  • Rockin’ kids music and talent show at the Kids’ Stage sponsored by The Children’s Learning Place.
  • Pony and train rides, face painting, climbing wall, bounce house, jousting and fabulous fare from local vendors.
