Located at one of the most highly visible intersections in Chicago on Milwaukee Ave at Western & Armitage, the venue is book-ended by stops on the CTA Blue Line Train, and is less than a half-mile away from the Kennedy expressway and Metra Rail service. Over 30,000 people will descend on the strip to experience Chicago's ultimate music and culinary fare. Bring the kids to check out the Family Playground and Local Stage for a host of games and activities that will show them how fun music can be.
