World Music Festival
The 15th Annual Chicago World Music Festival, presented
by the City of Chicago and the Chicago Department of Culural Affairs and
Special events, is an 11 day, city-wide, multi-venue festival featuring
traditional and contemporary music from diverse cultures and from musicians
from around the world. Since it began in 1999, it has attracted over 600,000
concertgoers and more than 600 artists from over 80 countries. This particular
year, the Festival has taking a year in the making, and as you read the
features shows and artists, you will be able to see the effect of that hard
work. A big difference from last years’ set up, which was only seven days.

concerts, are free.
