Formerly known as the Belmont Arts and Music fest, The newly renamed Roscoe Village Burger Fest will run 12-10pm on Saturday & Sunday at the Belmont and Damen intersection.
Live music both days and a wide variety of burger vendors is a scrumptious choice for Chicago summer fun.
Sample burgers from Goose Island, Select Cut, John's Place, Village Tap, The Bad Apple, and Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro.
Consumption highlights include: The Bad Apple offers up hormone-free all natural beef from New York, Village Tap is likely to serve cajun veggie or bacon and egg steak burger, and don't forget to try the Goose Island burgers, which may be topped with either a goat cheese croquette and onion marmalade or stilton cheese and roasted garlic cloves. Delicious! - Here's the link to the website.

This festival needs some improvement in the burger department, but not bad for a first try. The lines got very long for some of the burger stands. Sadly missing from the burger joints in attendance were Kuma's Corner and Square Bar. Perhaps they'll join in next year.
