From their website:
Located in one of the hottest neighborhoods on the north side of Chicago,
the Bucktown Arts Fest will celebrate its 39th year August 29-30, 2026. 
What began as four artists showing their work in the park has grown into a community tradition that hosts an estimated 40,000 people each year. Known for both its grassroots atmosphere and its tradition of great artists sharing their own handmade work, the Bucktown Arts Fest is a non-profit, all-volunteer run, neighborhood celebration of the arts. All proceeds from the fest go to fund, develop and support arts education programming at Holstein Park and in the Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhoods. Our fest is free to the public from 11am to 7pm each day. We have no gate and no donation request for entry. True to our roots, we are an arts fest put together by the community, for our community.
