Mark Your Calendar: Ravenswood ArtWalk Returns for Its 24th Year — Bigger, Bolder & Open to All

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Ravenswood · July 26, 2026

Ravenswood's most beloved creative tradition is back — and this year it hits a milestone worth celebrating. The Ravenswood ArtWalk: Tour of Arts & Industry returns for its 24th annual edition on Saturday and Sunday, September 12–13, 2026, running 11am to 6pm both days along the Ravenswood Industrial Corridor between Lawrence and Irving Park Road. Best of all? It's free to attend.

Now in its third decade, the ArtWalk invites visitors to explore one of Chicago's most vibrant and eclectic creative communities. Expect open studios, workshops, live performances, an outdoor arts market, a beer garden, food trucks, kids' activities, and live local music — all tucked inside the neighborhood's iconic converted manufacturing spaces. Local studios, galleries, makers, and businesses are also invited to open their doors as official indoor venues, giving attendees a rare behind-the-scenes look at the creative engine that powers Ravenswood year-round.

With Ravenswood On Tap now wrapped and the Feel Good Fest on the horizon for August 8th, the ArtWalk caps off a truly spectacular summer-into-fall run for the neighborhood. Whether you're a longtime RAW devotee or a first-time explorer, this is your invitation to discover what makes Ravenswood's industrial corridor one of the most artistically rich corners of the entire city.
