Nepali Street Festival Hits Edgewater | Chicago News

Get ready to vibe at the first-ever Nepali Street Festival in Edgewater this Saturday, from noon to 8 PM on Kenmore Ave—where live music, cultural shows, and authentic Nepali bites from local spots like Kathmandu Cafe and KTM Kitchen will bring the neighborhood together. Organized by Nepalese Aid, a nonprofit founded in 2022 to support first-gen Nepali immigrants, the event celebrates the thriving community of about 3,000 Nepalis in Edgewater and aims to bridge cultures while honoring heritage. Founder Rajan Shahi, who calls Edgewater home, is turning pride into action—with this festival and a nearby mural that reads “From Nepal to Chicago, our culture, our community, our identity”—showcasing tradition, resilience, and belonging right in the heart of Chicago.
