We're so grateful for the thousands of people who came to dance, drink, sing, and let loose on Lincoln Avenue at Square Roots!! Our attendees, volunteers, performers, and staff create such a spectacular atmosphere at the fest. Thank you to everyone involved in making 2024 a hit!

Running Square Roots wouldn't be possible without our absolutely fabulous group of volunteers! They help with everything from pouring drinks, keeping the area clean, accepting gate donations, and much more—all with a smile on their face �� THANK YOU to our festival volunteers!

A special thank you to our beverage partners @dovetailbrewery, @maplewoodbeer , @thenorthmanchi, @begylebrewing, @halfacrebeer, @pilotprojectchi, and @liquiddeath and to all of the food vendors who helped feed the masses! 🍻

The beer and food lineup is such an essential part of Square Roots, and this year's selection was exceptional! Festival goers had so many options for delicious drinks, satisfying snacks, and tasty treats.

Lincoln Ave was overflowing today with good people, good vibes, and most of all some REALLY good music!

The lineup of bands completely blew us away. We’re thrilled to bring so many memorable artists from near and far to Lincoln Square and can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow!

So, you nearly drank Square Roots out of all the Hopfenlager last night—we, uhhhh, made a lot of it.

Good news is, Dovetail Helles and Hef is plenty and found everywhere throughout the fest! Enjoy one in one of beer gardens at the North entrance, Main Stage or Sunnyside

Don’t miss out on the specialty Square Roots brew from @dovetailbrewery while supplies last 🍻
