Founded in 2005, Riot Fest features amazing food vendors, sideshow performers, rides, plenty of beer, and much more. Riot Fest is wholly independent of corporate interests and curated with its fans interests and hearts in mind. In addition to the music, the festival often has quirky, original attractions. Over the years Riot Fest has presented Lucha Libre (Mexican Wrestling), freak shows, a butter sculpturist, and a snowball fight... as well as a full carnival with games and rides. The fest—staged annually in Chicago by community-minded music fanatics—was named #1 Music Festival by USA Today in 2016.
