Sabor Fest September 27, 2026
Sabor Fest returns to 18th & Halsted in Pilsen September 25–27, bringing local businesses, food, music, and culture together for a weekend rooted in the neighborhood. At the heart of the festival are the small businesses, food vendors, and artists who give guests a chance to eat local, shop local, and discover something new throughout the weekend.
What started as a celebration of Chicago’s food scene has grown into a gathering that gives local vendors a platform while creating a place for families and friends to spend time together in the heart of Pilsen.
Throughout the three-day festival, guests can expect food and drink vendors, merchandise, art, live music, and entertainment from businesses and creatives across Chicago.
New this year, Sabor Fest will introduce its Rave Edition, blending regional Mexican music with EDM, DJs, and rave-inspired production. The programming puts a new spin on familiar sounds, bringing regional Mexican music and electronic beats together after dark.
Sabor Fest is open to all ages with a suggested $5 donation and will take place September 25–27 at 18th & Halsted in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood.
Friday, September 25 | 5pm–10pm
Saturday, September 26 | 12pm–10pm
Sunday, September 27 | 12pm–10pm
18th Street & Halsted | Pilsen, Chicago
