Mark Your Calendars: Dates Pegged for Retro on Roscoe 2013
The annual street festival in Roscoe Village is back again, offering up three stages for music, blocks of unique vendors and merchants, and plenty of tasty food.
Mark your calendars, because this year’s 27th Annual Retro on Roscoe street and music festival is slated for Aug. 10-11.
Located in the heart of Roscoe Village, the event gathers performers on three main stages, as well as six full blocks of unique vendors and merchants. The event lasts from noon to 10 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday in August.
And while the multitude of musical acts have yet to be announced, the annual classic car show is still slated to add even more to the music-heavy scene.
