Do Division Street Fest & Sidewalk Sale 2008
Saturday May 31 and Sunday June 1, 2008
Street Fest: Division Street between Damen & Leavitt
Sidewalk Sale: Division Street between Ashland & Leavitt
5/31 Lucero
6/1 Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
What makes the Do-Division Street Fest and Sidewalk Sale unique is that all elements of this festival are local: the food, the vendors, the music by Empty Bottle Presents, even the featured beet, Pabst Blue Ribbon, is selected based on it’s popularity in the ‘hood. Given the status of West Division Street as the hottest, hippest most cutting edge neighborhood in Chicago, the events’ 30,000 attendees wouldn’t want this festival any other way but local.
