Chicago Italian Beef Fest
Jefferson Memorial Park, Chicago, IL
Jefferson Park's 25-year neighborhood festival, rebranded from Jeff Fest to the Chicago Italian Beef Fest in 2026 to lean into its food-and-music identity. It fills Jefferson Memorial Park with live bands and local vendors, with the beef sandwich now the festival's namesake draw.
