Organizer: Star Events

What to expect: Music, more music and some culinary delights.

Why to go: WXRT calls it one of the best musical events in the city. Even if you don't normally take advice from radio stations, it's hard to argue with thirty local bands playing continuously on three stages.

Additional info: Now in its 14th year, this festival draws over 40,000 Chicagoans. In addition to the music, there will be artisans and craft vendors, a wide variety of food options and street performers galore.
