http://www.jambase.com/festivals/index.asp?showall=1®ionID=0 great list of festies big and small... not totally inclusive but a fun wish list.
I'm a real fan of different festivals around the world... so far, my most favorite is this Fez event in Morocco.
A very useful resource here in Chi-town is http://metromix.com/ There's certainly no shortage of fests in and around the city. Tons of music, food, art and culture all season. Something for everyone... See full calendar of listings here: http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/events/festivals/summer/mmx-festivalguidefront,0,4171954.htmlstory
