The festival is conveniently located DIRECTLY off the Belmont L stop! We recommend taking some sort of public transportation, considering some streets are closed off and we are anticipating traffic and difficulty finding parking. The Belmont L stop has red, brown, and purple lines, so it’s extremely accessible from most Chicago neighborhoods!
