Metronome Celebration

June 12 & 13, 2010

The 2nd Annual Metronome Celebration will deliver over 20 original bands on 4 unique stages, featuring a Rock Stage planned by Empty Bottle Presents and a Latin Pop Stage (new this year) selected by the Congress Theater on Saturday, June 12th, while Sunday, June 13th will include a Punk Stage curated by MP Productions and a Folk Stage booked by The Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival.

Our options for families and children will be greatly expanded this year with the ‘School’s Out Forever’ Zone, with 5 times more space devoted to face painters, balloon artists, inflatable rides, carnival games, arts & crafts and tons of other activities and family friendly programming.

Add in culinary delights from over 15 restaurants, innovative sponsors and vendors selling paintings, sculpture, fashion, music and more, and you’ve got one of the more unique festivals in all of Chicago.

Located at one of the most highly visible intersections in Chicago on Milwaukee Ave at Western & Armitage, the venue is book-ended by stops on the CTA Blue Line Train, and is less than a half-mile away from the Kennedy expressway and Metra Rail service. Over 30,000 people will descend on the strip to experience Chicago’s ultimate music and gastronomic fare.

The Metronome Celebration will benefit the Logan Square Neighborhood Coalition, which will distribute proceeds to the Greater Goethe Neighborhood Association, the Logan Square Chamber of Commerce, Friends of Goethe School, Chase Elementary School. And once again, we are committed to making the event a model of efficiency, minimizing waste and maximizing recycling on the venue.

We are excited to bring something new to such a great neighborhood and provide much needed funding to our community organizations, so we greatly appreciate your support.
