T.I.P. (Teens in the Park) Fest is the largest platform for Chicago’s young artists to showcase their talent, connect to resources and celebrate one another's talents.
Teen Singers, Rappers, Dancers, Performers, and Poets, ages 14 - 24 are welcome to audition to perform at TIP Fest 2022 which will be held October 1st at Maggie Daley Park! Be a part of this year’s fest – individuals or groups are welcome to audition. In order to audition, performers must register in advance. To register, click on the Apply Now button below.
The 2022 TIP Fest is being reimagined this year to bring more teens to the park. Whether you're an artist auditioning to be a TIP Fest finalist or just a supporter of awesome talent - we have something for you! This year, audience members will decide who advances to the TIP Fest Finals on October 1st. Audience members can attend each audition and cast their votes for their favorite artists. Additionally, contestants will be able to vote for their top 3 performers - just not for themselves. The more youth votes the better, so tell your friends and come out to support other local artists in their pursuit to be a 2022 TIP Fest Finalist. Join us to support the amazingly talented young artist in our city for a great day. Enjoy food and local vendors selling art and handmade items. Save the audition dates and we'll see you there!
