Wicker Park is proud of its reputation as the artsy, bohemian district of Chicago, and this weekend proved to be no exception. The ninth annual Wicker Park Fest offered two days of live music, access to the neighborhood's art galleries, restaurants and boutiques, and a kid-centric station. Festival-goers checked out a myriad of creative products, including paintings, jewelry and garments—but even so, Wicker Park Fest will always be a music fest at heart. And so that's precisely what the vast majority of Wicker Park-ers spent their time doing.
Music played all day long, but things really started to heat up in the evening. Attendees turned up to hear everything from the country-punk tunes of Lucero to the Indie pop of Miniature Tigers. We were especially proud to note the presence of folk musician Joe Pug, who hails from Maryland but got his start in none other than Chicago, and has since gone on to tour with Josh Ritter and Levon Helm. Oh, how we love a good Chicago success story.
