The West Town Chamber of Commerce (WTCC) is a non-profit organization with a mission to strengthen its business community so that West Town continues to be a destination for shopping, dining, professional services, nightlife and culture. The Chamber fosters community and economic development by empowering businesses with information, networking opportunities, marketing, and other programming. In addition to these offerings, the WTCC produces special events to raise funds, to stimulate economic development, and to promote West Town as a tourist destination. Every year, we look forward to hosting festivals that bring our community together, support our small business entrepreneurs, and have undoubtedly become staples to enjoying summer in Chicago.
Given the growing concerns around COVID-19, the
WTCC Board of Directors made the difficult decision to cancel the following 2020 summer festivals: Do Division Street Fest, West Fest Chicago, and Chicago Brewing District’s Dancing in the Streets
. The health and safety of the community, festival patrons, vendors, performers, and everyone who works to put these events together is of paramount importance to our organization. The Chamber looks forward to bringing back our summer events when it is safe to do so. The 2020 fall and winter West Town Chamber events are still being planned as scheduled until future safety guidelines are released.
