The Chosen Few Picnic isn't just a festival; it's a cultural institution where family, friends, and strangers become one sweaty, euphoric community from sunrise to sunset.
Silver Room Block Party
The Silver Room Block Party takes over Salt Shed's sprawling Goose Island grounds with 40 performances across indoor and outdoor stages—expect everything from emerging local acts to established names, all while 20 Chicago vendors set up shop around you.

ARC Music Festival
ARC Music Festival brings Chicago's underground electronic scene above ground—this is where the city's most respected selectors (think Green Velvet, Honey Dijon, Carl Craig) command massive sound systems across Union Park. You'll experience three days of techno, house, and experimental beats in a festival setup that feels more intimate than massive, with the kind of lineup that attracts serious dancers and curious newcomers alike.
