According to Star Events, The Boulevard is an incredible 3-day festival in the heart of Logan Square that features incredible live music, artisans, and great food and over a half dozen delicious craft beers to choose from…
The community area and neighborhood are named for General John A. Logan who served in the Civil War, and later in Congress. One of the most striking intersections in the city, the square itself is a circular green space located at the center of a traffic circle formed by the junction of Kedzie and Logan Boulevards and Milwaukee Avenue.
We're particularly stoked to see Smoking Popes Friday at 8pm
and Liquid Soul Sunday at 7pm. Check out our photo filled Soul Sonic Sirkus coverage with members of Liquid Soul HERE.

Bucktown Arts Fest 11am-7pm Saturday and Sunday
This is an art, music and fun filled annual favorite of ours. And it's completely free. There's even a gorgeous pool right next door at Holstein Park, if you want to throw in some suits and take a dip. It's great to cool off before or after gettin' you art on, and the last remaining open days for the free city pools are dwindling fast!

Back from The Golden Bowl tournament in California, the All-Stars are glowing from two victorious match-ups. Windy City knocked down the Detroit Derby Girls Allstars (128 - 74) and the Texas Rollergirls Texecutioners (132 - 121), firmly maintaining their #1 rank in the North Central Region, but suffered a loss to the B.ay A.rea D.erby Girls Golden Girls (49 - 116).
Here at home, the All-Stars will welcome the San Diego Derby Dolls Wildfires, a flat and banked track hybrid team sporting an "any time, any surface" attitude. Hot to burn up the Windy City, these all-stars are not to be underestimated in the least.
The Second Wind, Windy City’s up-and-coming powerhouse skaters, will start the night's action against the Ohio Rollergirls, in what is sure to be a fierce battle on the track.
Entertainment: BOOM CRACK!, a professional hip hop dance company hailing from the Hubbard Street Dance Center.
August 27 is Back to School Night. Get your fellow classmates or alumni together for a too cool for school night on the town!
Tickets are available at Ticketmaster, the UIC box office, or from any WCR skater or official. Contact groups@windycityrollers.com to receive 25% off of groups of 15 or more. Deadline to order is Wednesday, August 24.
