In addition to having a fabulous lineup of Chicago-based musicians and Chicago craft beer, our inaugural Andersonville City Made Fest will also feature a diverse marketplace of artists and small producers creating their work right in the city of Chicago!  We are really excited about this group; most have never done Midsommarfest so this will be their first taste of the awesome Andersonville street festival environment.

First, a HUGE thank you to our fantastic sponsors.  The SoFo Tap has been holding down the fort south of Foster for years now, and they are so excited about bringing this new event to their neck of the woods. Andersonville Wine & Spirits has been a mainstay on the corner of Foster & Clark, and they carry many of the local brewers being featured at City Made Fest.  I-Go Car Sharing is truly homegrown and has been helping Chicago residents go car-less for years and they will be at the festival with great deals for new members.  Crew Bar & Grill is getting ready to undergo a major face lift, and they invite you to become a Beer God and sample their huge selection of great brew.  And, of course, our two sponsors who will be serving their delicious product at City Made Fest - Revolution Brewing and Lagunitas Brewing Co.

And now for our other vendors, after the break.
