History
Shannon Waldron was inspired to develop Urban Fêtes after attending a festival.[5] The name Fetês comes from French and means party. After completing her training at Southern Illinois University, Shannon incorporated this concept and founded Urban Fêtes.[6][7] Initially starting with small meetings that included professional friends and recent graduates from his university, he later developed a database of contacts that helped him establish a demographic profile of newcomers.[8]
In 2019, Urban Fêtes started a movement of 12 silent parties for Chicago Public Schools students to boost their morale when schools were canceled during the Chicago Teachers Union strike.[9]
