Windy City Smokeout 2018
Live music is going to be a huge part of 2018. Practically every weekend during the summer and fall will be filled with festivals and concerts. Sometimes it’s hard to make decisions on which events to attend, but this one stands out.
It’s the Windy City Smokeout…a festival that isn’t just devoted to country music. During the weekend of July 13th-15th, you’ll be able to enjoy BBQ and Craft Beer in one of my favorite cities in America, Chicago. The trio sound like a delicious match made in heaven. Tickets are available on the festival’s website.
