Join me in revisiting THE last festival of the season, Edgewater Art Festival! This was my very first festival a couple of years ago, and now I revisit it three years later. This year I'm mixing it up, and working with a good entrepreneur friend of mine who has an awesome clothing and accessory line based on Chicago House Music: EVOL Chicago, (LOVE spelled backwards, and also referring to the EVOLution of love through culture and music).

I have partnered with the company's founder Misha in the past for collaborations of our brands. Below you will see some captures from us working together. This time, though, we're both bringing our individual best, together to YOU! Be sure to stop by to find some of the most unique Chicago merchandise out there! From Chicago shirts, hats, pins, and scarves to art printed on anything and everything you can imagine! Introducing multiple products before summer is over, don't miss it!

West Fest 2016, Chicago

The three-day festival was filled with people from all walks of life, as West Town sits in the middle of the West Side, drawing people from Logan Square, to Humbolt Park, Wicker Park, Bucktown, River West, University City / Little Italy and beyond! Despite the occasional heat wave on Friday, the weather was perfect for the weekend to be filled with an eclectic mix music, vendors, and people... (and dogs... and pigs!). One of my favorite aspects of West Fest was the diversity, not only of the people and DJ's, but also the mini-areas within the fest itself. The kid zone was complete with blow up castles, mini trains and donkey rides, but even better yet, A PET ZONE that featured a charity dog wash for all the hot pooches (see pictures below!) and a great food truck circle area! My favorite was Jerk Grill (their jerk rubbed chicken in particular). No, not "you're a jerk" type of jerk, mouthwatering Jamaican spices kind of Jerk! Also a special thank you to Andrea from Little Shoe Films for the recap video!
