Overview:
For three days in early August, Jefferson Park, one of Chicago’s oldest and largest neighborhoods, puts on a festival to rival any in the Chicagoland area.
This culture-rich, solid middle class community welcomes visitors from all over Chicagoland to enjoy three days of art, theater performances, music including big name rock and roll bands, family activities, great food, wine and cold beer.
The uniqueness of Jeff Fest is fueled by the community’s long tradition of visual and performing arts. Highlights of the festival can include afternoon performances by the local theater groups, dance and music groups featured on the Community Stage. Each night, the Mainstage is headlined by a top name, cutting edge rock & roll band.
Living up to its reputation as a family community, Jefferson Park’s Jeff Fest puts on a fantastic lineup of children’s entertainment that all takes place in the ‘Kid’s Zone’.
The Food Court’s wide variety of food from local restaurants and festival vendors ensures that there is something delicious to suit every palette.
All of Jeff Fest’s unique components reflect the area’s culture -rich tradition, and explains why this event is packed from the moment it opens until the last notes are played by the last headlining band.
