The Chicago House Party will off free music and dancing in Millennium Park on Saturday, May 27 from 2-9

the various sounds and styles of house music, a musical form originally
born in Chicago that has since revolutionized dance music on an
international scale. This year the House Party will expand to the North
Chase Promenade Tent as well as the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. Admission to
the event is free. For complete details visit millenniumpark.org.

These events celebrate Chicago house music – a truly original genre
created in the city during the 1980s. The form takes its name from an
old Chicago night club called The Warehouse, where resident DJ Frankie
Knuckles mixed old disco classics, Euro-pop and electronic beats into a
high- energy amalgamation.
