Neighbors Roll Up Their Sleeves: Roscoe Village's Clean & Green Day Kicks Off the Season of Community Pride

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Roscoe Village · March 25, 2026

Spring cleaning in Roscoe Village isn't just a household tradition — it's a full neighborhood affair. On March 16, Roscoe Village Neighbors (RVN) hosted its annual Clean and Green Day, rallying residents to step outside and spruce up the streets, parks, and green spaces that make the 'Village Within the City' such a beloved place to call home. The community-driven event reflects the neighborhood's long-standing commitment to beautifying its surroundings — a spirit that runs deep here, where residents and business owners routinely team up on park improvements and local cleanups.

And the momentum isn't stopping there. Art lovers can already pencil in May 16–17 for the Lincoln Roscoe Art + Craft Fair, a street festival on Lincoln Ave celebrating local artisans and makers. Meanwhile, neighborhood pub staple Roscoe Village Pub at 2159 W. Addison St. is gearing up for a fresh season, with its popular back patio set to reopen on April 1 — just in time for Chicagoans desperate to soak up some spring sunshine with a craft beer in hand.

From block cleanups to art fairs to patio season, Roscoe Village is charging into spring with its trademark community energy fully intact.
