Wow! It’s Free? you gotta be kiddin’ me and the bottle water is only a $ 1 as well as the $ 3 Miller Lites too! This is how it should be and people will go to more festivals. Chicago’s Blues Fest has been getting over rated. Their acts have been getting weak and the beer and food is way overpriced. If you live in the burbs and love blues and a good time, you gotta make it here. This year’s lineup was great and Jimmy Vaughn closed it up on Saturday night. Even the parking was free! Yes, free parking. How does the city make money off of this? Well, I’m not complaining but I will be there next year.
