30th Annual Chicago Blues Festival

Millennium Park & Grant Park
Columbus Drive and Congress Parkway
June 6-9

For four days, enjoy the largest free blues festival in the world! Five stages and more than 500,000 blues fans take over Grant Park, proving our city is the “Blues Capital of the World.” Past performers include Bonnie Raitt, Ray Charles, B.B. King, the late Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy and the late Koko Taylor. The theme for this year is Rollin’ Up The River, celebrating the blues with a musical journey up the Mississippi River.


The 30th Annual Chicago Blues Festival will open on June 6 with a concert at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park before moving to Grant Park for three full days of music. The headliners for June 7-9 will perform at the Petrillo Music Shell.
