Chicago honors its legacy as a city of 12-bar melodies and wailing guitar solos by hosting this annual blues music festival, bringing living legends and local players to Millennium Park for four days of electrifying performances. This year's lineup includes headlining sets from soul and Americana singer Shemekia Copeland, “The Mississippi Blues Child,” Mr. Sipp, and Memphis soul and roots band Southern Avenue. When you need to refuel, head to Wally's BBQ Pit to feast on delicious barbecue in between acts.
