This includes many of Chicagoland’s most popular and best-known runs/walks and art/street festivals. In fact, each year nearly 500,000 individuals participate in SEM-produced runs/walks while another 1.5 million visit our art and street fests.
Among our marquee events are the Wells Street Art Festival, Belmont-Sheffield Music Fest, Northalsted Market Days, Taste of Lincoln Avenue, AIDS Run/Walk Chicago, Chicago Craft Beer Fest, Festival de La Villita, Roscoe Village Burger Fest, Lakeview Taco Fest and the Rosehill Cemetery ‘Crypt’ 5K Run/Walk, to name just a few.
We have been a customer of Special Event Management for decades and they have proven themselves to be the best in its industry. They truly care about the customer, will offer creative programming, and have a professional team onboard. They have good relations working with City departments for permits and will ensure a safe and compliant event.”

When you’re in charge of putting on a public event, the many details that bring that event together can be daunting and incredibly time consuming. That’s when bringing in the experts can make all the difference. Special Events Management can work with you to put together all those details (from A to Z or just certain segments). The result can help you have a really successful event. We know from experience.
