Check this Chicago. A new music festival is coming to the area. Just a few miles outside of Chicago at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL, we’ll soon see the newest incarnation of a mash up fest. \u00a0This one will be a three day fest that will focus on live music, gourmet food and craft beer. \u00a0What else could you ask for!?<\/p>\n
It’s being put on by the folks that brought you Rock on The Range and other well established festivals across the US. \u00a0Here’s some good news about this one. It’s very reasonably priced (compared to others multi day festivals). \u00a0It’s in a good centralized location away from downtown traffic and trendy uptight or dangerous neighborhoods. There’s plenty of parking. It’s all within one area. \u00a0No tromping through mud or trekking across multiple park lands. \u00a0It’s in June so the weather tends to be nicer. \u00a0Not as hot as other summer festivals or wet. \u00a0Best of all, its new! \u00a0Something we’ve not seen before. \u00a0This is the first of it’s kind so if you’re looking for a different festival this summer, you might want to put this on your list.<\/p>\n
