Looking for the best Chicago Music Festivals in 2023!? Well, you’ve come to the right place because I’ve compiled the best list of events, block parties, and festivals in the windy city this year!
Chicago has given us a lot to be thankful for. Deep dish pizza. Tales of 1920’s gangsters. Sears Tower. World-famous sports teams.
But this is a music festival list, so we have to be grateful to the Windy City for the introduction of jazz, soul, blues and house music. That’s right, it all started here, along with many other genres we all know and love!
