Thousands of people came out to this year’s Galewoodstock, Galewood’s own annual neighborhood music festival.

Held in front of Sayre Language Academy, 1850 N. Newland Ave., the event featured six Chicago area musical acts, including Austin R&B singer Alicia Ya Yah Townsend and Edward Carpio y Su Ensamble Latino salsa band. Galewoodstock expanded its food area and added more activities for kids, including lessons from local artists. 

Galewoodstock is organized by the Galewood Neighbors community organization to bring the neighborhood together and show it off to the surrounding communities.
