Last weekend was the 42nd annual Sheffield Garden Walk, a festival in Lincoln Park which celebrates everything summer has to offer. Live entertainment included bands from the Chicago area as well as special guests. There were many local food vendors to choose from including: Bacino’s Pizza, The Abbey Pub & Restaurant, Quang Noodle, Starfruit, Robinson’s Ribs, and Sal’s Deli. The event was sponsored by Blue Moon beer, 93 WXRT, the Home Depot, Treasure Island grocery store, and many others.

There was something for everyone at the Garden Walk event. For music lovers, live entertainment in the parking-lot behind the St. Vincent DePaul Church was a hit. Many of the bands drew large crowds, especially the headliners in the evening. For history and architecture enthusiasts there were guided architectural tours. The tours wove around the beautiful and often historical homes in the area, covering the different styles of architecture that the neighborhood embraces. There were also signs on various gardens for self-guided garden tours. It was an exciting experience to be able to enjoy some of the otherwise-private, beautiful gardens in the area.

For children, there was a “Kids’ Corner” on Kenmore, though it was more like a whole block than a corner. There was a face painting station, a petting zoo with sheep and goats, pony rides, a mini roller-coaster and Ferris wheel, and a moon jump. There was also an activity area where kids could do craft projects to take home as a keepsake. The kids even had their own live entertainment — there were story readings from the public library, a few firemen came to visit, and some children even performed music themselves.

There were people all over Sheffield, Webster, Kenmore, and Fremont enjoying the beautiful weather. But the fun didn’t stop there, just farther up on Webster and Halsted (and even down to Armitage) was the Lincoln Park Sidewalk Sale. Stores along these streets had sale items out on the sidewalk along their store-fronts as well as special deals inside. It was a rather eventful weekend in Lincoln Park — definitely something not to miss next year.
