A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our End of Summer Celebration & Community Band Competition!

With 100+ local acts submitting, Largemouth took the top spot, and we’re also bringing Rose of Demise to Riot Fest 2026.

That makes four bands from North Lawndale & Little Village hitting the Riot Fest stage this September:

🎸 Largemouth
🎸 Rose of Demise
🎸 Aim High
🎸 Almost There But Not Really

We’re so excited to have these incredible local artists representing their communities at Riot Fest. A big thank you to Alderwoman Monique Scott, Senator Lakesia Collins, Commisioner Michael Scott, and the Chicago Park District for partnering with us and helping make Thursday’s event happen.

1-Day, 2-Day, and 3-Day tickets are on sale now!
