Wicker Park Fest announces final lineup, schedule

By Frank Krolicki

Wicker Park Fest is often called out as Chicago's best street festival, and it keeps getting harder and harder to argue with that. The fest has released its final musician lineup and schedule for this year (happening July 23-24), and for a mere $5 donation you can spend the weekend watching great band after great band. The fest always does a nice job showcasing local talent and this year is no exception; there are a bunch of locally-based acts on the schedule including Netherfriends, Dastardly, Company of Thieves, Flosstradamus, Van Ghost and more. That's in addition to bands from afar such as Blitzen Trapper, Wavves and Wild Flag. Check out the full lineup and schedule below.
