“The Burning City Neo-Vintage Entertainment Festival”—advertised as “a massive city-wide, week-long event”—will take place July 25-29 at Uptown Underground, 4707 N. Broadway.
Drawing inspiration from the 1893 World’s Columbian Exhibition, this new festival will focus on the entertainment styles first seen in Chicago along the White City’s “Midway Plaisance,” with a modern-day twist.
The eight main stage shows will include performers and events such as ROUGE! Cabaret & Neo-Vintage Dance Party, provocateur Jeez Loueez and the “Red Light Special,” a queer, body-positive dance after-party.
