COOL ACTS. SMALL CLUBS. SWEET DEALS.
This ten-day festival features a lineup of Chicago’s top cabaret artists performing blues, Broadway, burlesque, jazz, R&B, American Songbook, French chanson, and world music.
Cabaret has been at the heart of Chicago’s nightlife for more than a century. The venues are intimate spaces, including small theatres, restaurants, churches, and clubs — many featuring cabaret throughout the year for a growing audience. This year’s event will feature 70+ performers across 16 concerts at 16 venues.
Many venues host cabaret acts year-round. Your source for cabaret every day is the calendar at chicagocabaret.org.
Chicago Cabaret Week is coordinated by Acts of Kindness Cabaret, Chicago Cabaret Professionals, The Cabaret Project, and Working In Concert and supported in part by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), the Illinois Arts Council, WDCB-90.9 FM radio (Chicago’s home for jazz, blues, and more), and Choose Chicago.
