Union Park

The Chicago Michelada Festival is a celebration of Latin culture, food, music and community at Union Park. The festival features a lineup of more than 30 artists, including Sean Paul, Latin Mafia and Jhayco, plus local food and drinks. This year, Friday, June 26 is Community Day, when entry is free for all. Donations are encouraged and will benefit La Casa Norte, a Chicago-based nonprofit providing shelter, nourishment, and wraparound support to youth and families experiencing housing insecurity

The sixth annual ARC Music Festival is scheduled to take over Union Park during Labor Day weekend, celebrating Chicago's house music roots and welcoming an international lineup of dance music artists. Expanding to a four-day sprawl for the first time, the fest features acts including Ben UFO, Honey Dijon, Carl Craig and Hiroko Yamamura. Catch sets at multiple stages spread throughout the park, enjoy food from local chefs and don't skip the ARC After Dark parties at venues like Smartbar and Radius.
