Came here at evening with cousin.
First of all, the address is incorrect. There was nothing happened at this location. Waste of Uber ride.
The correct address is:
2000 W Division St
Second, this Grand Joke of a street fest is too crowded. Too many people and easy to step on someone’s toes, both figuratively and literally.
Third, probably the Last Insult or straw that broke the camel’s back as it were, but a lot of mean and callous people here. Also it’s extremely hard to socialize with any group at length, so it’s hard to join a convo that’s going on.
To give a more concrete example, I went into a shop with an intent to purchase some goods, in strolled in a couple and essentially avoided eye contact with me completely, and made me feel small and insignificant, and pretty bad about myself and self image as it were. Essentially, they treated me badly.
That is just one example but you get the gist. I try to review any place honestly, and this is my honest take on it. The vibes of the “festival” didn’t agree with me at all.
In short, this “Street Fest” was the opposite of fun and was a total disaster.
I did not enjoy it one bit, and will likely not be coming back.
Nice try, “Street Fest” of Chicago. Should be called “Mean Ridicule Fest”. Ridiculous, like a dude in a clown outfit giving you life advice. Total swing and miss!
