Big Buzz Idea Group

Big Buzz Idea Group creates and produces many of Chicago’s most beloved summer festivals, as well as many other wonderful events around the year!
I’ve interacted with the Big Buzz staff at several events over the past few years. They are professional, courteous of the neighborhoods/​residents and respectful of everyone involved from staff to volunteers and event patrons.
Most of all, Big Buzz Idea Group takes on events/​festivals with the goal of leaving the neighborhood better than how they found it. This is accomplished through a volunteer grant program (which Big Buzz developed) that has funneled millions of dollars into local NPOs, schools, churches and other organizations.
Big Buzz Idea Group are good people crafting great events for the betterment of others.

Do not make the mistake of volunteering for any event this group of Neanderthal’s manages. They treat volunteers like garbage. The owner (Lagowski?) is stressed out, rude and aggressive — particularly with young teen volunteers who are providing his profit-​making business with free labor. Hey dude, you are not curing cancer — you are organizing a frigging street party. Get some mental health support.
