(Chicago) New Site Revealed for 10th Anniversary – More Stages, More Rides, More Attractions

(Chicago) New Site Revealed for 10th Anniversary – More Stages, More Rides, More Attractions

August 21, 2014 (June 17, 2016) // Riot Fest

In celebration of our 10th anniversary, we are incredibly excited to reveal our new festival grounds in the north section of Humboldt Park. With the fest now operating between W. North Ave. and W. Division St. as the north and south boundaries, and within N. Kedzie Ave. and N. California Ave. as the west and east boundaries, there will be lots of room for our 7 stages, over a dozen carnival rides, custom 9-hole mini-golf course, haunted house brought to you by Zombie Army Productions, Lucha Libre wrestling, Gospel For The Guilty burlesque show, Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow Revue, chainsaw sculpting, a classic 20-game arcade with all proceeds going to Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, and a wine bar. There will even be an additional 8th stage on Friday to house the special interactive  panel with Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina of Pussy Riot.  1, 2, and 3-day passes, as well as all-you-can-ride carnival passes are still available but are going fast. 3-Day passes are nearly sold out and select single-day passes are gone now too. Don’t wait, get your tickets while they’re still available! This is also a good time to get a jump on your festival planning with early reservation of locker rental. You’ll notice on the north boundary of the grounds is a designated space for locker rentals brought to you by Entertainment Lockers. Last year locker reservations sold out about 30 minutes after gates opened, so reserve yours now to safely store your carnival winnings, band merch, or whatever else you might not want to carry around the grounds with you.
