Save Our Street Fests Coalition is a collection of non profit organizations uniting to share the collective voice that Chicago Street Festivals are our non profit's fundraisers, NOT city funded events.

Our organizations have been creating community events and opportunities for small businesses for decades and are currently at risk of disappearing due to plummeting donations at our festival gates.

We are working together to inform Chicagoans the importance of donating at our gates to keep our communities thriving and open for business. Sign our petition & DONATE AT THE GATE this summer!

Meet the Coalition

Not city funded events.

Did you ever stop to think who pays for…

the bands? the performers? the fest workers?

the stages? the lights? the banners?

the street closure permit? the fencing?

the cleaning services? the portable toilets? the security?

We did.
