The world famous American Music Festival held annually at Fitzgerald's Nightclub in Berwyn, Illinois, features the best in Roots-Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz and Zydeco, with food tents offering New Orleans-style cuisine, on the 4th of July Weekend-- June 29, 30 and July 1-3.

FitzGerald's was built in the 1920s and has always been a gathering spot, from the early days as a hunting club and watering hole through its teen years as a jazz club during the '50s and '60s, featuring acts like Bob Scobey, Turk Murphy, Lil Armstrong, and the Original Salty Dogs. The FitzGerald family bought and renovated the building in 1980, and since then its reputation for great music in a casual, comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere has grown steadily. Chicago Magazine calls it "a musical gem," and the club has consistently found itself in the top 5 in Chicago polls of favorite venues.

Four major motion pictures (Color of Money, Blink, Adventures in Babysitting and A League of Their Own) all featured pivotal scenes that were shot on location at FitzGerald's. In 2007, Bon Jovi filmed their “Lost Highway” video at FitzGerald's! Also in 2007, FitzGerald's Nightclub was transformed into a sixties-styleTexas Juke Joint for Universal Pictures' film "The Express" starring Dennis Quaid, Charles S. Dutton and Rob Brown.
