The Andersonville Chamber of Commerce (ACC) is pleased to announce the return of Andersonville Midsommarfest, one of Chicago’s oldest and most beloved summer street festivals. Now in its 58th year, the annual festival will be held June 7 – 9, 2024 along Andersonville’s Clark Street corridor.
For three nights and two days, this vibrant and diverse community will bring together over 80,000 people to celebrate a proud Swedish summer tradition with eclectic music, great vendors, food and free kids’ activities.
Midsommarfest kicks off Friday, June 7 from 5 pm – 10 pm from Foster Ave, to Gregory St. and continues Saturday, June 8 and Sunday, June 9 from 12 pm – 10 pm.
This year’s festival will feature more than 50 music and entertainment acts on five stages: the North Stage at Clark & Catalpa, the Center Stage at Berwyn (sponsored by Rattleback Records) the Swedish Stage at Foster (sponsored by the Swedish American Museum), the Balmoral Pride Stage (sponsored by Replay Andersonville) and the Summerdale Stage. The annual kids area at Summerdale is sponsored by Alamo Shoes.
As always, Midsommarfest will celebrate Andersonville’s Swedish culture and history. The Swedish Stage at Clark & Farragut (sponsored by the Swedish American Museum) will feature traditional Swedish activities throughout the weekend, including a dance around the Maypole. The Swedish American Museum will serve delicious Swedish cuisine and offer free admission during the festival.
Admission to Midsommarfest is a $10 suggested donation. Proceeds from donations and beverage sales go directly back to the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce (a 501c6 non-profit organization) to support festival expenses, neighborhood events, small business networking events, neighborhood beautification, and special services year round.
