If you couldn’t already tell, I’m extremely excited about Riot Fest’s 10th anniversary. It’s been less than a month since the punk rock-themed festival released their lineups for the year, and now we’re supplied with even bigger, more exciting news. Riot Fest will be moving its location from Humboldt Park to… Humboldt Park! The festival will simply migrate to the north end of the park with North Ave. serving as its Northern end, Kedzie to its West, California to its East, and Division to the South. This will make access to the festival much more convenient for commuters as the North Ave. bus will now be accessible right on festival grounds.
Even better, more attractions are being added to the festival this year. In addition to the staple carnival attractions that Riot Fest has been known for, a 9-hole miniature golf course (supplied by our homie Artpentry), a haunted house, Gospel for the Guilty burlesque show, a 20-game arcade supplied by Emporium Arcade Bar (with proceeds going to the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless), and more!
Haunted house and miniature golf tickets are on sale right now over at Ticketfly. Take a closer look at the updated map for Riot Fest Chicago 2014 below. We’ll see you next month!
