One City Summer-Long Virtual Festival

Staying Connected and Support the Local Community!
Saturday June 6, 2020 ALL SUMMER LONG
 
One City. One Festival
Location
From Your Couch! Chicago, IL

we will get through this together.

At StarEvents, we have dedicated ourselves to working in the best interest of our clients, vendors, sponsors and attendees. We want to let you know that we stand firmly with you, and we are your partners now and going forward, just as we have been for the last decade and beyond. Over the past 25 years, our festivals have brought communities together and raised over 20 million dollars for local charities and communities through the generosity of all of the people of Chicago. In times like these, it is more important than ever to remember that we are all in this together, that we are all more alike than we are different, and that if we stay hopeful, empathetic, and kind, we will get through this and will come out stronger on the other side.

StarEvents has always been proud to promote community connection and support the development of each neighborhood’s local businesses. We want to continue this mission in our upcoming festival season, as it will be more important than ever to show local support once this is all over. As soon as we are able and it is safe to do so, we want to get back to what we do best: bringing Chicago together, both mentally and physically, and helping our local community partners to thrive.

In order to continue to ensure the health and safety of vendors, sponsors, employees, and attendees at our festivals, we will be monitoring the new developments and respecting instruction given by authorities. We will continue to update you as we learn more about how COVID-19 will affect public events. We look forward to standing by your side, hearing Chicago’s best bands, drinking ice cold beer, and working with all of our valued vendors once it is safe to do so. For now, we are continuing to take vendor applications, answer questions, planning precautions, and all other operations to plan for a successful summer to start as soon as is safe and possible. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help at this time, and please stay in touch. We are here for you. Thank you for your trust and your support, and cheers to coming out stronger on the other side!

This is such a great way to help out the local stores and shops. And you don’t even have to leave your house!”

–  Sarah G.

I have never seen so much support from local Chicagoans. Neighbors have become friends and communities have become families. If we keep this up, I know we will be stronger than ever when this is all over!”

–  Eric C.

Such a mind-blowingly good idea! I can’t believe I didn’t think of it myself.”

–  Mark P.

    ARTWORKS BY STEVE CONNELL
    I LOVE the way night transforms the urban environment. In this series of paintings my goal is to capture the unique mood and atmosphere created by night in the city of Chicago. I pick venues that attract this sensibility whether a well known theater or a little corner joint. With a background in traditional painting, I have adopted new technology and create these images with my finger on an iPad from sketch to final painting. I offer these as archival prints, canvases and mounted on wood.
