The inaugural Bulls fest will feature a 3-on-3 basketball tournament, live music, and Chicago’s best food and drink vendors.
Chicago’s summer months are already jam-packed with exciting festivals. From internationally recognized music festivals like Lollapalooza in Grant Park and iconic celebrations of identity like Chicago Pride Fest to craft beer festivals, neighborhood art festivals, and everything in between, the City of Chicago’s restless warmer months make it one of the greatest summer cities on the planet.
Now another festival is about to join the mix and it’s being hosted by none other than The Chicago Bulls. Taking place outside the United Center on Labor Day Weekend, “Bulls Fest” will be “a weekend-long Chicago street festival featuring a 3v3 tournament, live music, local food, amazing art, and more” according to the official Chicago Bulls announcement.
