What does LilFest do?

About the House Concerts (now suspended): Join me, if you will, for the fun and music in the living room. The refreshments provided will be simple and non- alcoholic. Contributions of goodies - homemade, store-bought, your choice of beverages, whatever, are also most welcome, even encouraged, but by no means required. There will be a basket available to support the House's expenses: PR, equipment, refreshments, chairs, repairs and the like, should you choose to do that. Suggested contributions for the artists vary between $12 and $20. Reservations are necessary, please, e-mail (nancy@lilfest.com) preferred. Phone 312-371-2284. Space is limited and sellouts do occur. Doors open fifteen minutes before the show and we are located 4-5 blocks from either the CTA's Linden stop on the purple line or the METRA's Wilmette stop.
