ACM’s Thirsty Ears Festival is Chicago’s only classical music street festival!

For two days Wilson street between Hermitage and Ravenswood are closed to feature stellar ensembles and soloists performing music from Beethoven to Shostakovich to Reich and everything in between on the main stage.

We also have delicious beer and wine, vendor booths, kid-friendly activities and food trucks on both days.

In the event of rain we will move the music into the All Saints Church on the same block with seating for 200 people.
