Chicago's First Classical Music Street Festival

ACM is proud to present the Thirsty Ears Festival, Chicago's first and only classical music street fest! We've partnered with Artisanal Imports to pair great classical music with craft beers from St. Feuillian and La Trappe.

We'll also have food trucks, vendor booths and, between 1:00 and 4:00, kid friendly activities.

On Saturday, August 13 Wilson street from Hermitage to Ravenswood will be closed and we'll present eight stellar ensembles and soloists, including our own Palomar ensemble, between 1:00 and 8:00 on the main stage.

If you're looking for a different kind of street fest, Thirsty Ears is for you!
