Indiefest Chicago continues its 10-day run of more than 50 independent films tonight at the Biograph, 2433 N. Lincoln. First shows are at noon, tickets are $10, and the schedule is right here.

Wicker Park Summerfest

Because there was really just a dearth of street festivals in a Chicago summer, the Wicker Park/Bucktown Chamber decided to start a new one. They do have a better music selection than most: today's lineup includes Bumpus, the Ponys, and the French Kicks. 11am-10pm, on Damen between North and LeMoyne. The usual $5 "suggested donation." See here for full schedule.
