Belmont-Sheffield Music Fest
12:00pm
Top local tribute bands… food… libations… artisans… and an all-new second stage featuring entertainment booked by two popular neighborhood mainstays (Berlin nightclub and Trader Todd's) are on tap for the 33rd annual Belmont-Sheffield Music Fest.
One of the first of many Windy City warm weather fests, the party in the Lakeview neighborhood takes place in the shadow of the Belmont El stop on Sheffield Ave. between Belmont (3200 N.) and Roscoe (3400 N.) on Saturday and Sunday, May 27-28, over Memorial Day weekend.
Highlights of this popular Memorial Day weekend happening (summer officially starts June 21) include performances by several of the region's favorite tribute bands. There's also plenty of food, beer, wine and artisans.
Among the bands performing on the main stage on Sheffield near School Street include Wedding Banned and Rod Tuffcurls & the Bench Press (both pop/rock), hip hop tribute outfit Too White Crew and Boy Band Review.
And the new second stage on Sheffield at Belmont features eclectic entertainment ranging from deejays Ralphi Rosario, Greg Haus, XP and Nevin to Trader Todd's karaoke as well as drag performances.
Fest hours are Noon-10:00 p.m. both days. A gate donation of $5 benefits the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce. For more visit www.ChicagoEvents.com; 773.868.3010.
