VENUE

Lincoln Park South — Chicago's lakefront destination for Lakeshore Arts & Music Festival, June 19-20, 2026.

FESTIVAL LOCATION

Lakeshore Arts & Music Festival takes place at Lincoln Park Grove #8, one of Chicago's most scenic outdoor event spaces. Located just steps from Lake Michigan in the heart of Lincoln Park, the venue offers lush green space, mature tree canopy, and easy access from all directions.
Address: 2611 N Cannon Dr, Chicago, IL 60614
The festival grounds feature multiple stages, food vendor areas, VIP sections, sponsor activations, and accessible facilities — all within a walkable footprint along Chicago's iconic lakefront.

GETTING THERE

By CTA: Take the Brown or Purple Line to Fullerton, or the Red Line to Fullerton. From there, it’s about a 15–20 minute walk east through Lincoln Park toward Cannon Drive and the lakefront.
Bus routes 151, 156, and 134 stop closest to Cannon Dr and Fullerton Pkwy, just steps from the event. The #22 Clark and #36 Broadway buses also connect to the area with a short walk east.

By Rideshare: We recommend getting dropped off on Clark St, Lakeview Ave, Fullerton Ave, or Diversey Pkwy and walking into the event, rather than using Cannon Drive directly. A designated rideshare pickup/drop-off zone will be clearly marked nearby for departures.

By Car: Street parking is limited along Cannon Drive and surrounding streets. Paid parking is available at nearby lots, including Lincoln Park Zoo (2001 N Clark St) and garages closer to Fullerton. We strongly encourage public transit or rideshare to reduce congestion.

By Bike: Divvy bike stations are located throughout Lincoln Park and along the lakefront trail. Bike racks will be available near the festival entrance.
