The Main Stage will feature popular R&B act, The Chicago Catz, The Giving Tree Band, Henhouse Prowlers, and The Iguanas. A family entertainment stage will feature Ac Rock, an a capella rock foursome, Circus Boy, and Ballet Folklorico de San Antonio de Padua.

Also present at the Fair will be the consultant Duncan and Assoc., who will be showcasing their renderings for the upcoming redevelopment of the Roosevelt Corridor between Harlem and Austin.
RRBA President Paul Zimmermann stated, “As Roosevelt Road moves forward with the development of a unified streetscape design plan and new zoning regulations for Berwyn, Oak Park and Cicero, we are thrilled to invite the community out to celebrate our successes on this vital corridor. Maintaining the tradition established in its inaugural year, the fest will continue to highlight the assets that establish Roosevelt Road as a reawakened entertainment and dining destination throughout the year.”
