Check the full lineup and event details on the festival’s website. If you’re in Chicago, enjoy one of your summer days with Chance and his friends. Maybe you’ll see a live-action performance of the “Sunday Candy” video. Who knows.

Youth ages 13 to 24 are welcome, along with parents who want to chaperone teens. You can register for the festival on LiveNation. Parents must register online before the festival.
