Hyde Park Chicago Summer Festival

Hyde Park Shopping Center@55th St. and Lake Park Ave. 

It's my local neighborhood summer festival this weekend (June 30th and July 1st). Two days of concerts and family activities on a four-block stretch. 1970s performers Average White Band and Roy Ayers will headline the festival, and various food and fashion vendors will be on site at the fest. There will be children's activities in Nicholas Park from noon to 4 p.m. on both days. The fest will take place on East 53rd Street from Kimbark to Harper Avenues.
