Dear Friend of Andersonville,
June was a big month in Andersonville. Between celebrating Pride Month and welcoming thousands of neighbors and visitors to Midsommarfest, our community came together in all the best ways. As we head into July, the momentum continues with outdoor markets, summer events, and exciting collaborations throughout the neighborhood.
We are especially thrilled to see several Andersonville businesses participating in this year's Project Windows Campaign with the Art Institute of Chicago. Be sure to stop by Ridman's Coffee, Lilla Barn, Apothecary EO, and the Andersonville Chamber to see the creative window installations. After you've explored them all, don't forget to cast your vote for your favorite!
