Heralded as the “Grand Daddy” of American art festivals, the Gold Coast Art Fair is celebrating more than 50 years of wowing Chicago. As one of the most highly attended art fairs in the city, The Gold Coast River North Art Fair annually attracts over 300 juried artists and 600,000 visitors from locations around the world. The free festival is set along city streets and sidewalks in the gallery-filled neighborhood; a world-class creative and cultural experience!
At the Festival:
FESTIVE FOOD
Visitors can enjoy a variety of fare ranging from pizza, smoothies, roasted nuts and more. Local restaurants operate continuously throughout the festival.
CREATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL FUN
The National City Family Art Tent will feature several great art projects, for kids to create their own art to take home. Also, come and paint a real car donated by Fields Auto in any color or design at our Paint-A-Car tent. For all ages there is Art Fest Bingo, where kids can search the art festival for images to match on their bingo card.
FREE ENTERTAINMENT
Throughout the weekend live music entertains the crowds, including acoustic rock, flute, guitar, harp and jazz. The whole weekend there is melody in the air!
Join us in celebrating creativity!
