The Belmont-Sheffield Music Fest kicks off Chicago’s iconic summer festival season with a weekend packed full of local and national talent. Upon entry, a suggested $10 donation benefits the Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce, supporting efforts to enhance the beautification and safety of the Lakeview neighborhood.

Just steps away from the Belmont stop on the red line “EL” train, the festival takes over the heart of the vibrant Lakeview East neighborhood. Don’t miss top Midwest tribute bands on two stages near Roscoe, along with delicious food, drinks (beer and wine), and artisan vendors. This year’s vendors include Cafe TOLA (empanadas), Barangaroos Aussie Pies, Culture Studio (design your own trucker hat on-site), Caricatures - Tom Ryan Illustrations, Mixtape Your Life (handcrafted jewelry and art), and many more!

Expect a diverse array of entertainment near Belmont, featuring fun neighborhood music acts, DJs, and other performers. Headliners include Rod Tuffcurls & the Bench Press, 16 Candles, 77 Solution, and more!

The Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce is a community-based organization dedicated to representing and assisting merchants and other business people in the area. Its mission is to promote goodwill and create a pleasant business environment for merchants, consumers, and residents.
