RV Rentals at Chicago In Tune Festival
There has been no festival posted since 2021.
Chicago In Tune is a new citywide festival celebrating Chicago’s diverse and legendary music scene. This month of music will bring iconic neighborhood venues, presenting organizations, and musicians from across the city together to celebrate all music genres and forms — with both free and ticketed events at clubs, concert halls, and beyond.
ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT
This new and upcoming festival features performances by talented blues, gospel, jazz, and house musicians, including old favorites and those emerging onto the scene. The Chicago Blues Festival which has been celebrated for years is now part of this new music scene. Although the Chicago Blues Festival event had always been held at and around Petrillo Music Shell in Grant Park, it changed venues to the nearby Millennium Park in 2017. The Chicago In Tune Festival will be held at Millenium Park & Jay Pritzker Pavilion.
ON-SITE AMENITIES
With the event being held at the modern and spacious Millenium Park and Jay Pritzker Pavilion, festival-goers can expect state-of-the-art facilities and amenities to keep them comfortable during their time here. These include restrooms (including multiple wheelchair and ambulatory stalls), a Patron Services tent, two Welcome Centers, Lost and Found, free WiFi, and more.
