Romancing Roscoe August 15, 2026
Join us for Romancing Roscoe, a free neighborhood block party celebrating Bookstore Romance Day in the heart of Roscoe Village!
Spend the day meeting romance authors, shopping with local businesses and bookish vendors, discovering your next favorite read, and celebrating alongside fellow romance readers. Throughout the neighborhood, you’ll find exclusive merchandise, interactive activities, giveaways, photo opportunities, and plenty of fun.
Be sure to grab an event map and explore Roscoe Village as you visit participating businesses, collect stamps, and enter for a chance to win curated prize baskets. Whether you’re a longtime romance reader or just looking for a fun day out in one of Chicago’s favorite neighborhoods, there’s something for everyone.
Admission is free, so bring your friends, wear your favorite bookish outfit, and come celebrate the stories, authors, and community that make romance readers so special. We can’t wait to spend the day with you!
