Proceeds from Retro on Roscoe benefit Roscoe Village Neighbors. This year, RVN is using Retro income to fund improvements to the business district, donate to the Hamlin Park Baseball field upgrade, support our local schools, Audubon and Jahn, by funding teaching resources and reading materials, and hosting a variety of community events for our membership and members of the community. Sat & Sun: 12N-10p A $5(??) donation is requested at the door, and children under 12 and senior citizens are free. One of Chicago's hottest areas is the home of this flashback weekend of fun. Retro on Roscoe, now in its 12th season, will feature an antique car and motorcycle show, and plenty of '70s, '80s and '90s music to entertain the crowd of over 35,000 people. Antique and craft vendors, ethnic foods and games, fill the venue and liven up this tree-lined street for an enjoyable, two-day festival that brings back great memories while providing an exciting venue for the entire family. The Family Area is one of the best in the City and offers games, crafts, entertainment and lots more. This weekend will provide an incredible experience filled with exciting opportunities for all in attendance. Do not miss Retro on Roscoe!
