THE WORLD'S LONGEST-RUNNING HOUSE MUSIC FESTIVAL TURNS 36
When the world's greatest House music festivals assemble their lineups, they fly to Ibiza, Berlin, Amsterdam, or Miami. But there is only one city where House music was born, and only one festival that has been honoring that legacy, without interruption, for 36 consecutive years. On Saturday, July 11, 2026, the 36th Annual Chosen Few Picnic & Music Festival returns to Chicago's iconic Jackson Park, where it all began, and for the record, where it still reigns supreme as the most culturally significant House music gathering on the planet.
