The Latest From Winnemac Park

This Independence Day, Winnemac Park is looking to​ celebrate independent artists by hosting our first-ever 

WFFA Art Fair!

As part of the beloved Fourth For All Festival, we are bringing together local creatives to showcase art, photography, crafts, and handmade goods in the heart of our community. If you are a painter, sculptor, illustrator, craftsperson, or maker of any kind, this is your chance to share your work with thousands of festival-goers.

Our event will find attendees enjoying live music, delicious local food, acoustic music, an all-star baseball game by CMBA, family-friendly activities, and a fire-fueled headlining show by Full Moon Jam.

📅 Saturday, July 4th
⌚ 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM
🌳 Winnemac Park, Chicago

Artists must be able to bring their own table/tent to sell their materials; participation and experience in prior art festivals is preferred, but not necessary. Individuals will be responsible for their own set-up and break-down. Parking lot access will be provided and submissions will be required for approval.

🎨 The Artist's Benefit:
✅ No Booth Costs. No Cuts taken
✅ Reach an affluent, diverse local audience
✅ Connect with fellow artists & art lovers

OUR FAIR IS FULL!

Join Miss Ruby in Winnemac Park for a 30-minute story time full of books, songs, and fingerplays inspired by nature!

  Mark your calendars as she will be joining us for three dates June 26, July 10, and August 14th!

You can expect to hear stories about plants and animals alongside learning how we can take care of our planet together. Miss Ruby is a teaching artist and children's musician who has taught young artists at Chicago Children's Theatre, Edgewater Public Library, Women & Children First, and more.

We may be biased, but we think our park will act as the perfect backdrop for Miss Ruby to share her stories and we look very forward to welcoming her to Winnemac next week! .
