Looking for art downtown? Look no further than a few steps from Millennium Park’s famous Cloud Gate sculpture — the Chicago Eastside Millennium Art Festival showcases the work of 150 juried artists from across the United States this weekend. Originally founded years ago as the New Eastside Artworks, the Eastside Millennium Art Festival is reborn and returning to Michigan Avenue, at Lake and Stetson Streets. Extraordinary examples of two-dimensional and three-dimensional work are represented at the festival.
This is a free event and open to the public. The Eastside Millennium Art Festival offers guests the opportunity 
to enjoy and purchase exceptional artwork from masters in the field. Live music, great food from local and national vendors, as well as fun activities just for kids, including interactive art Bingo and an art tent where kids can create their own masterpieces, also take place at the festival. Nearby attractions like the internationally acclaimed Art Institute and Millennium Park make for a perfect day of exploring art and the city of Chicago.
