West End Arts Festival

This juried fine arts festival is a popular end-of-the-summer event for the community as well as for high-caliber artists from across the country. It's held in the shadow of the landmark Stone Avenue Metra train station in the charming and historic West End of La Grange surrounded by old trees and small, local businesses - all which provide a picture-perfect setting to shop and talk with artists in person. In addition to hosting fine artists in all media, the West End Arts Festival also highlights music performance, including a jazz band on Saturday evening, wine tasting, an Art of Food Culinary Tent featuring demonstrations by local chefs, numerous children’s activities, food vendors, and a community art project.
