The Logan Square Arts Fest Is Coming Home — and Palmer Square Has a Front-Row Seat

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Palmer Square ·

Palmer Square neighbors, mark your summer calendars: one of Chicago's most beloved neighborhood festivals is officially making its return, and it couldn't feel more welcome. The Logan Square Arts Fest is coming back for June 26–28, 2026, centered around the Illinois Centennial Monument at 3150 W. Logan Blvd. — and after a one-year hiatus forced by major construction on the Logan Square traffic circle, organizers say the fest is bigger and better than ever.

Thanks to that newly renovated plaza, the Logan Square Arts Foundation is doubling the number of local makers and artists in its vendor marketplace this year. The festival will also feature two stages of live music with community bands, visual art exhibitions throughout the grounds, and food and drink from neighborhood restaurants and breweries. Best of all, the event is free and open to all ages, with just a

0 suggested donation at the gate — 20 percent of which goes directly to Logan Square Preservation and other local nonprofits. Since 2015, the fest has raised over $75,000 for community partners, making it as much a civic institution as a cultural one.

For Palmer Square residents, this is the summer event that hits closest to home — a joyful, art-filled weekend spilling out across the very boulevards that define this neighborhood's character. Keep an eye on logansquareaf.com for the full lineup, vendor announcements, and volunteer opportunities as June draws near.
