ROSCOE VILLAGE — What do eBay, Starbucks Frappuccinos and Retro on Roscoe have in common?

They're all turning 20 and are still chugging along quite nicely.

Showing no signs of age, Retro on Roscoe, centered at Roscoe and Damen, spans three days: 5-10 p.m. Friday and noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

A particularly kid-friendly fest, Retro features an entire area for the youngsters, complete with inflatables, kids bands, face painting, crafts and more. The kids area is situated at Roscoe and Leavitt and is open 1-7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

An antique car show puts the retro in the fest. The show is set up 1-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Roscoe and Leavitt.

Festival stalwarts Hairbangers Ball, Too White Crew, 16 Candles and Trippin Billies are among the bands that will take to one of three music stages over the course of the weekend.

Admission is a suggested donation of $10, with proceeds benefiting Roscoe Village Neighbors.
