Andersonville Midsommarfest takes place along Clark Street in Chicago during the second weekend in June. Inspired by the Swedish Midsommar tradition, the annual event transforms the street into a multi-stage setting where live performances occur alongside a curated street fair. The celebration marks the start of the summer season and spans multiple stages throughout the festival footprint.
Beyond the music, attendees encounter food vendors, artisans, not-for-profits, and local businesses participating in the street fair. Andersonville Midsommarfest highlights the diversity of the LGBTQIA2+ community and provides space for connection and community engagement. The event is recognized as a longstanding gathering within the Andersonville neighborhood.
2026 marks the 60th Andersonville Midsommarfest! $10 Donation is suggested.
