They’re prepping the electrical and trimming the trees today along Olmsted for Edison Park Fest this weekend.
Edison Park Fest is a neighborhood festival sponsored by the Edison Park Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the City of Chicago Mayor’s Office of Special Events. Edison Park is located in the City of Chicago where it borders Park Ridge to the West and Niles to the North. Our festival is held in the downtown area in and around the Edison Park Metra Station. This popular festival attracts thousands of visitors over the two and a half days.
So start practicing in your backyard for the bags tournament and make sure to freshen up your dog for the dogshow! Check out all the info at the official Edison Park Fest site.
The streets are shut down, the fest is on!
Edison Park’s very own Don Juan’s Mexican Restaurant was voted Chicago’s #6 place to get margaritas in the Huffington Post. They say:
Edison Park might be a bit off the beaten path for many Chicagoans, but their margaritas, plus some deliciously authentic Mexican cuisine, make Don Juan’s worth the trek. But those margaritas can be addicting; make sure you’ve got a cab lined up for the trip back, or a very dependable DD.
Nice work, Don Juan’s … keep up the good work!

Update … looks like they’re setting up outside/inside of EPI. And there’s a giant pink tutu.
Today’s Tribune had a shout-out to Edison Park in #3 of its “10 Things You Might Not Know About the North Side” list today:
Early residents of a Far North Side community marketed their town as the first “electric suburb” because it sported cutting-edge electric streetlights. And they didn’t stop there. In 1890, they asked for — and received — Thomas Edison‘s approval to name their village in his honor. Edison Park joined the city in 1910.
