You've had a few days to recover from Pitchfork, so you should be plenty rested in time to do the fest thing all over again. The lineup this week includes some perennial favorites: Wicker Park Fest, Jeff Fest and Taste of Lincoln Avenue, plus the debut Chicago stop of Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp Across America, a roving beer tour coming to Navy Pier. Whether it's eating, drinking, listening to some music or catching some aerial dance, take your pick from these four weekend options. kbernot@tribune.com | @redeeyeatdrink
#GETFESTED
Each week, we issue you a mini-challenge to complete at a street fest and ask you tag it #getfested on Instagram. Big high fives to @goodeatschicago, who took some colorful, delicious-looking shots at Taste of River North. (If it was up to us, our Instagram feed would be full of nothing but tacos and cheese curds.) This weekend, show us an awesome nighttime shot-we want to see lights, colors, stages, the whole thing. Don't forget to use the tag #getfested for the chance to appear in RedEye.
