Artists of the Wall Festival

Every year, residents of Rogers Park and folks from throughout the city gather to paint sections of a 600-foot-long wall located by the lake near Loyola Beach. The Artists of the Wall Festival has been taking place since 1993, when neighbors banded together to cover up graffiti on the wall. As usual, there will be live music and plenty of activities for kids. You'll have to register for a spot to paint, but viewing is free.
