📋About
Winnetka Music Festival 2027: two days of live music in a North Shore village center
The Winnetka Music Festival returns on Friday, June 18 and Saturday, June 19, 2027, filling downtown Winnetka, Illinois, on the North Shore just north of Chicago. It is co-produced by Space Presents and Valslist, the team that also stages the Evanston Folk Festival, and pitches itself as a neighborhood get-together for listeners young and old. For 2027 only the dates are out so far, with no lineup, set times or prices.
The archive, kept since 2017 (there was no 2020 edition), leans toward rock, folk and Americana: Billy Strings in 2018, Moon Taxi a year later, St. Paul & The Broken Bones and Larkin Poe in 2021, Guster in 2022, The Wallflowers in 2023, Band of Horses and Milky Chance in 2024, then Cold War Kids and The Revivalists in 2025. In June 2026, Father John Misty, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Grace Potter, Lucero and Futurebirds shared four stages (Main, Lincoln, Chapel and a free Family Stage). Tickets also covered the "Just Listen Sessions", small-group conversations with musicians, writers and industry people, while space lasted.
Pointers from 2026, still to be confirmed: two gates, north (Lincoln Ave and Pine St) and south (Green Bay Rd and Elm St), the latter right by the Metra station; with scarce public parking, train, bike or rideshare made the most sense. Reserved accessible parking and ADA seating at every stage, free entry under 12 and half price at the door for ages 12 to 16 (minors with an adult), no dogs apart from service animals, no smoking, folding chairs allowed, re-entry permitted, rain or shine. Food trucks from around Chicagoland (vegetarian and gluten-free choices), cashless bars, and a VIP village with raised decks, indoor restrooms, an air-conditioned room and two drink tickets a day.
TicketWeb is the official seller, and pop-up box offices in Winnetka skip the service fees. Winnetka Music Festival, June 18-19, 2027: browse more June 2027 festivals and festivals in the United States, or check the official site.
