The half-mile long summer festival features all-day lineups of live music on five stages, 200+ unique vendors, arts, crafts, food and drink, DJs/dancing and more. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend.

Scheduled performers/shows include Ada Vox, Anastacia, Bitch, Chicago Spirit Brigade, The Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus, Isaac Escalante, Meghan Murphy, 3 Martini Jeannie, Ginger Minj, Richard Streetman and Jason Fein, Matteo Lane, ’80s tribute band Sixteen Candles, DJ Joe Gauthreaux, G FLIP and “Dancing Queen: An ABBA Salute,” among others.
