56 Music fix
Local Artists / Local Venues 3 Days of Non-Stop Music
August 21st-23rd 2020
Your Neighbors Rock!
COVID 19 Update:
Everything sucks.
Pandemic. Quarantine.
Worry for our parents and grandparent's health and for friends who've fallen ill. We shelter in place and wear a mask to the grocery store and converted-to-carry-out places.
We are indebted to essential workers keeping our lives sane and for medical personnel facing unbelievable stresses and sacrifice.
Oh, and there's no live music.
The 56 Music Fix Committee is monitoring the latest recommendations and are in a Holding Pattern in that no new bands have been booked, nor have bands been cancelled.
Bottom line: if the virus is still with us, as it may likely be, were an asymptomatic person to innocently infect untold numbers in our village, putting people's lives at risk? Well, Nothing is worth that, so we will be vigilant.
More to come. Stay healthy. Zoom with friends for sanity. Be kind.
Created by- and for- the great residents of Mt. Prospect, a group of local friends & musicians notorious for making Big Plans are excited to bring Year Three to town!
Regional bands of all sizes and genres play throughout Mt Prospect's terrific bars, restaurants and shops over one amazing summer weekend.
With the support of the Mount Prospect Chamber of Commerce, local business owners, and many amazing artists and musicians, we present the
56 Music Fix
A Village-Wide Celebration of Music, Art & Food!
Thank you for being a part of this adventure and supporting the incredibly talented people that live and play here!
The 56 Music Fix Committee received the Hometown Award at Mt Prospect's Shining Star Gala for making Mt Prospect a better place to live! We can't thank you enough for rocking with us!
(Psst: our zip code is 60056 & a Facebook page touting local businesses called "In the 56" inspired our name).

In partnership with the Mt. Prospect Park District, we present a family-friendly day of food, live music, and shopping!
The Artisan Market hosts a collection of juried artists displaying their work and ready for sale. All of the artisan's work is handmade and local.

A few of our favorite local restaurants will be at the market so you don't go hungry.
