Afro Fusion All White Yacht Cruise
You're stepping onto the Anita Dee II dressed head-to-toe in white, ready to float across Lake Michigan while three levels of DJs spin everything from Amapiano to Afrobeats to dancehall—think less stuffy boat party, more floating festival with the Chicago skyline as your backdrop. The open-air top deck is where the energy peaks, but you'll find seamless vibes throughout, with international talent keeping the rhythm locked in until the sun dips.
Chicago House Music Festival & Conference
Chicago's house music scene birthed a global movement, and this festival brings that legacy front and center with performances that'll have you understanding why this city remains the genre's beating heart. You'll move between main-stage sets and intimate panel discussions where the actual architects of house music break down how four-on-the-floor became four-on-the-world, then network with producers, DJs, and obsessives who actually live this.
The Best of The Second City
You'll catch The Second City at their peak on Saturday in Old Town—where sketch comedy writers literally invented the format that's shaped Saturday Night Live and beyond. The energy is infectious, the bar scene buzzes with people actually laughing out loud (not doom-scrolling), and you're watching the comedy hotbed that's launched everyone from Tina Fey to Key & Peele.
