Clark Street Live
Two days. Two stages. One very big weekend on Clark Street.
September 26 & 27, 2026
Clark Street from Addison to Newport
Wrigleyville, Chicago
For the first time in nearly 30 years, this stretch of Clark Street is shutting down for a full weekend of live music, local food, cold drinks, dancing, games, pop-up experiences, and peak Wrigleyville energy.
Clark Street Live is a brand-new, two-day music festival celebrating the sounds, businesses, and people that make this neighborhood one of Chicago’s favorite places to gather.
With two stages of live music, thousands of festivalgoers, and Wrigley Field’s iconic marquee as the backdrop, this is not your average neighborhood block party.
This is Clark Street, turned all the way up.
What to Expect
Two Stages of Live Music
Live music will take over Clark Street all weekend long, with two full stages featuring a mix of country, rock, blues, reggae, dance music, crowd-pleasing covers, and more.
The full artist lineup and daily performance schedule will be announced soon.
Local Food and Festival Drinks
Come hungry. Clark Street Live will feature local restaurants, festival favorites, beer and beverage gardens, and plenty of options for grabbing a bite between sets.
Because dancing on an empty stomach is simply poor planning.
Games, Pop-Ups and Interactive Experiences
The fun does not stop at the stages. Throughout the festival, guests can expect interactive brand activations, games, giveaways, photo moments, contests, demonstrations, and plenty of surprises tucked along the street.
Some will be big. Some will be wonderfully ridiculous. All will give you another reason to keep exploring.
A Full Wrigleyville Weekend
Clark Street Live sits in the heart of one of Chicago’s most iconic entertainment districts, surrounded by neighborhood bars, restaurants, shops, hotels, and, of course, Wrigley Field.
Make a full day of it. Catch a band, try something new, visit a local business, dance in the street, and stay for one more song.
For the Daytime Crowd
Clark Street Live will welcome music lovers of all ages during daytime hours, with food, activities, pop-up experiences, and live entertainment throughout the festival grounds.
As the evening rolls in, expect the music to get louder, the dance floor to fill up, and Clark Street to settle into its natural habitat.
