About this Event

The popular culture event, the 29th African/Caribbean International Festival of Life (IFOL) will this year return to its regular July 4th Independence Day weekend, and will be held, Saturday through Monday, July 2nd - 4th, 2022 from 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM in its original location, Washington Park, 55th Street, South Cottage Grove, Chicago, IL.

The official announcement was made today, by Ephraim Martin, D.B.A., President of Martin’s International producer of the festival, who further said, “We will abide and adhere to all COVID-19 Pandemic protocols outlined by the city or the State tenure the 29th IFOL. This year’s festival is again, dedicated to Health Awareness and to Chicago’s Founding Father DuSable,” Martin stated.

The family-friendly festival will continue with its tradition of bringing cultures together by teaching and sharing experiences through music, food, arts, crafts, and games the entire weekend. The annual event will feature more than fifty Reggae, Afrobeat, R&B, Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Hip Hop, Steppin’, House, Latin, and other world music acts on two stages. Guests will patronize over one hundred vendors selling and branding their products/items.

Last September, when the city opened its door to public events, with strict COVID-19 protocols, the Festival of Life was combined with its sister event, the JSVFest (Jerk, Seafood and Vegan Festival) was a huge success.
