WEST TOWN —Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, you won’t be able to participate Do Division Street Fest in person this year.
But you can support local musicians from your living room.
The West Town Chamber of Commerce announced Friday the beloved street festival will go virtual with a week of small business promotions followed by a weekend of live streamed concerts.
The performances will take place inside The Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western Ave., in Ukrainian Village; and Subterranean, 2011 W. North Ave., in Wicker Park.
Originally scheduled for June 5-6, the live streamed performances have been postponed to Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27.
