ARC Music Festival

Chicago invented house music. ARC throws the party to prove it still owns it. Four days over Labor Day weekend at Union Park, with a lineup that doesn't chase trends — it sets them. ARC has built one of the most credible festival identities in North America in a remarkably short time, booking artists who belong here and not just artists who are famous. The city is part of the experience. Come for the festival, stay for the after-hours, eat the pizza.
