This Saturday, July 11, the Champaign Park District, City of Champaign and Champaign Downtown Association will all join up to host another Downtown Street Festival. The fest will take place from 7 p.m. until midnight on the corner of Walnut and Chester Streets. The festival is the second Streetfest of three to take place this summer. The cost is free, and there is no entry age. The festivals, which feature live music, have been a popular addition to this summer’s community events.
The live music at this month’s Streetfest will feature the bands Mister Sister and One Night Stand. Mister Sister is a classic rock band fronted by four female vocalists. One Night Stand is a band that performs original music along with country and classic rock hits. The Tour de Champaign bike races will be taking place all day prior to this Saturday’s Street Festival. Get to Streetfest early to grab a great spot by the stage. Good live music, combined with great food and a large crowd, are sure to make an enjoyable night for all.
