Riot Fest celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with an expanded footprint in Humboldt Park and more bands than ever before. The Carnival will also be expanded and food options will range from funnel cakes to gourmet food trucks. The circus will be staged daily and there are more features to be announced soon. Green space, killer food and drink and a wonderfully diverse line-up combine for maximum fun! Watching bands from the top of the Ferris Wheel while looking out on the gorgeous Chicago skyline makes Riot Fest a truly unforgettable experience.
