The ultimate end of summer festival returns to Chicago’s North side with the 23rd Annual Ravenswood Artwalk on Saturday, September 13th and Sunday, September 14th. The Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce (GRCC) partners with the historic Ravenswood Industrial Corridor for a weekend that highlights the bustling hub of artisans, manufacturers, and brewers, unlike anyplace else in the city!

Attendees will have the chance to connect with artisans of all kinds including painters, jewelers, brewers, teachers, dancers, potters, photographers, musicians, and more. At the event’s center, the Outdoor Arts Market will feature over 80 makers and artisans, live music from local talent, beer from Begyle Brewing, food trucks, and a children’s corner.
