Overview
About
Founded in 2005, Riot Fest started out across several Chicago venues before settling at Douglass Park in the North Lawndale neighborhood. Over three days the bill mixes punk, alternative rock, metal and hip hop, with a recurring focus on band reunions and full album performances, staged amid a carnival setting of rides and fairground stalls.
