Hearing live music outside has long been a prized Chicago tradition, especially when the summertime hits.

Imagine the heat, with the breeze kicking in just at sunset and the skyline surrounding you, or maybe just a neighborhood block, complete with a booming stereo system and crowds of people collectively looking in the direction of the stage. Whether it’s Lollapalooza or the SquareRoots festival in Lincoln Square, with the familiar smell of fried food and sunscreen, or simply stretching out on a lawn with some good friends, a picnic, and the stage at a distance, every music lover looks forward to these summer events. Often free and open to the public, and with countless genres represented, there is truly a festival opportunity for everyone this summer.
