A festival proposed for Lincoln Park between Montrose and Lawrence Avenue has been significantly scaled back, but is now a go according to UptownUpdate.
The Chicago Uptown Lakefront Carnival and Entertainment Festival had put forth plans to hold an 18 day event in the park. However, organizers had no experience in creating a large festival, nor had they revealed bands and other entertainment.
However, UU says a smaller fest has been granted a ten-year contract. The fest will be held August 1-4.
Whoa 18 days. That woulda been something.
