Do Division This Weekend

dodivisionhand.jpgSummer in Chicago officially arrives this weekend with the Do Division Street Festival. The kick off of street-fest season, Do Division features food, fashion, and sidewalk sales from Division Street businesses and most importantly--music, programmed by the Empty Bottle. The Handsome Furs, Menomena, White Rabbits and Flosstradamus ,among others, will all hit the main stage this weekend. There will also be a Family Fun stage plus the Second Annual Bass, Bubbles and Beats DJ party in the Wicker Wash Car Wash.

Another bonus--if you were concerned about missing Around the Coyote Arts Festival this year since it moved from its original location at Wicker Park's Six Corners, fear no more because this year the event has moved to West Town and coincides with Do-Division. Click here for ticket information.
