Ever wish you could go back in time? Well here’s your chance! Referred to by Patch as a “Generation X haven”, Chicagoans looking for a blast from the past don’t need to look further than the 27th annual Retro on Roscoe festival. Now introducing the Roscoe Village Art Fest, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in a community that values and supports the arts.

Live music will play oldies and throwbacks along with popular hits to keep festival-goers moving through the summer night. The beautiful tree-lined streets of Roscoe Village will set the scene for artisans, antique vendors and cool merchants in an offbeat shopping atmosphere that is second to none. Roscoe Village’s top restaurants will also serve up much-desired summer treats that will keep the whole family pleased.

Put the pedal to the metal with the Antique and Classic Car and Motorcycle Show. Presented by Four Treys Bar, Retro’s Antique Car Show will showcase over 50 antique, classic and muscle cars throughout the festival weekend.

The Roscoe Village Neighbors are a non-profit organization comprised of volunteers that work hard daily to ensure committed excellence in advocacy of quality-of-life for Roscoe Village, its residents, and merchants alike.

As a resident of Roscoe Village, I enjoy this festival every year! Each year it gets better and better. I thoroughly enjoyed the music too, bands played my favorite songs from the 70’s and 80’s.

– Scott M., 2022 FESTIVAL ATTENDEE

Definitely one of the, if not the best festivals of the season. Terrific beer and food selection, along with some great music on 3 stages. Car show for the gearheads to boot!”
