about food festival
The City of West Chicago welcomes you to come visit us in our historic downtown area for another great event - Food Festival!
Food Festival is exactly how it sounds - a finger-licking fun festival of food. Enjoy a summer evening filled with live music, a sampling of beverages, and fun activities for all ages. And, did we mention there would be food at the event? Lots of it!
Ultimately, this outdoor event features a variety of food and beverage trucks throughout our downtown area with a series of bands playing live music. Visitors can stroll through the downtown area of West Chicago while enjoying some music and enjoying the sights, the smells, and you guessed it - food!
Save the date, and come visit our little city away from the big city - and don't forget to bring your appetite!
