With a different festival flooding the streets and ears of Chicagoans every Summer weekend it is hard to find a Festival that seems unique or perhaps speaks to you as a fan of not only music but Chicago music. This year there is a new festival that kicks off tonight, July 20th, in Lincoln Square that not only caters to the Chicago music fan but will draw out the beer nerd in you as well.
Square Root Festival will bring together 10 local breweries and 35 music acts this weekend, July 20th to July 22nd. Artists include: Garland Jeffreys, Sidi Tourè, Ezra Furman, Carpacho Super Combo, Orquesta El Macabeo, M.A.K.U. Soundsystem, Waco Brothers and AfriCaribe. Also performing is an artist we have highlighted, Jonas Friddle & the Majority will play the Wilson Stage at 6PM on Friday, July 20.
If you are a beer nerd, like myself, the breweries with Chicago roots that will be present are Two Brothers, Half Acre, Metropolitan, Finch’s, 5 Rabbit, Greenbush, Vander Mill Cider, Hinterland, Founders and New Holland. It should be an amazing weekend of magical beer and band pairings.
