Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival

Bon Iver frontman Justin Vernon and the National's Aaron Dessner curate this small music festival, set on a farm in Vernon's Wisconsin hometown. The lineup is filled with Chicago-based artists this year, including indie-rock heroes Wilco (as well as side projects like Tweedy and the Autumn Defense) and recent Grammy-winner Chance the Rapper. Other notable acts include Paul Simon, Feist, Danny Brown and, of course, Bon Iver (playing the music of songwriter John Prine). It's a five hour drive from Chicago, but this fest seems unique enough to warrant a weekend trip.
