Summer Concert Sponsors & Food Vendor Opportunities

Post Date:03/11/2026 11:00 AM

 

Connect your business with thousands of Carol Stream residents by sponsoring the Village’s Summer Concert Series—one of the community’s most popular summer traditions.

The Village of Carol Stream’s annual Summer Concert Series returns this June and July, bringing the community together for free evenings of live music, local food, and themed celebrations. We aim to offer these concerts without taxpayer funding, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. Sponsorships offer local businesses, organizations, and individuals a unique opportunity to connect with the community, gain brand visibility, and support a Carol Stream tradition.

Food vendors are invited to participate in the concert series, with each concert featuring 3-4 vendors. Vendors must be able to serve a high volume of guests efficiently (roughly 600 - 2,000 attendees per concert) and offer menu items suitable for a family-friendly outdoor event. This opportunity is for prepared food vendors only.
