Windy Fest is a music and community festival with a philanthropic flair. Started in 2017, the purpose of Windy Fest is to strengthen and celebrate community pride by encompassing all things local, from the artwork showcased, to the music performed and vendor booths led by businesses and educational entities. 

What started off as a graduation party for founder Shaunda Brooks-Green turned out to be bigger than what she imagined. The inaugural event brought in 200 people, showcased 14+ acts, and raised ~$400 for SocialWorks. We are excited to see what's next as we continue to evolve Windy Fest for years to come with more collaborations and community involvement... By Chicago, For Chicago!
