Roscoe Village artists and craftspeople have a limited-time opportunity as early bird registration for the popular Lincoln Roscoe Art & Craft Fair 2026 approaches its November 30 deadline. The beloved neighborhood festival, which transforms Lincoln Avenue between Roscoe and Melrose Streets into a vibrant showcase of creativity, is offering discounted application fees of $25 for artists who register before the end of the month.

The festival organizers are particularly encouraging emerging artists to apply, with the event featuring a special program designed to support new talents in the community. All media of art and original craft are welcome, including home goods and upcycled items, with the event taking place on closed city streets for easy vendor access and sponsored by the Lakeview SSA 27. The north side Chicago festival has become a staple on Lincoln Avenue, an area known for its variety of independent businesses and vibrant shops, attracting visitors from nearby Lakeview, Southport Corridor, Lincoln Park, and of course, Roscoe Village itself. The event draws a diverse audience including young professionals, city dwellers, and families. Neighborhood residents interested in participating are encouraged to apply early to secure their spot in this celebrated community tradition.
