Thirsty Ears Festival
The Thirsty Ears Festival, now in its tenth year, is Chicago’s only classical music street festival. For two days we close Wilson Ave. to feature eighteen stellar ensembles and soloists performing classical music from all eras.
We’ll also have craft beer from local brewer Dovetail, organic wine, food trucks, community vendors and kid-friendly performances and activities.
It all happens on Wilson Ave. between Ravenswood and Hermitage on Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24.
