Gold Coast in Grant Park

With Old Town out of the way, we have been anxiously awaiting the Gold Coast Art Fair - which for the second year in a row has outgrown its former Gold Coast location and now finds its home at Grant Park's Butler field.

What to expect besides original works of more than 350 established and burgeoning artists? How about FREE admission, interactive art demos, speed painting (not sure what it is, but sounds impressive), live music and great food. Speaking of food, this year, the festival will host the Glunz Family Wine & Beer Garden which offers guests wine, beer and sangria with a portion of proceeds benefiting the Chicago Special Olympics - a little activity we like to call "drinking for good."

The “Granddaddy of American Art Festivals” takes place this Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00PM - get more info at gcartfair.com
