The Chosen Few have cracked the code for the perfect Chicago music festival. Click through for info about the festival July 8
Chicagoans rarely suffer from a shortage of music festivals, but few such events make me feel like I’m participating in the city’s cultural fabric like. The long-running house-music celebration began informally in 1990, and its roots extend even further back. Wayne Williams founded the Chosen Few DJ collective in 1977 as a high school student, and the group helped Chicago youth keep carrying the disco torch as the music drifted out of sync with mainstream pop.
A lot has changed for the gathering in 33 years. In some respects the Chosen Few Picnic, which draws tens of thousands of people to Jackson Park, now resembles a more traditional summer music festival: it’s become a gated and ticketed event, and these days the DJs spin on a stage outfitted with a jumbotron. But much of the spirit of the picnic’s original incarnation remains intact.
