You can’t mention Illinois without mentioning Lollapalooza.

It’s one of the most famous music festivals in the world, so much so that copycats have debuted everywhere from Europe to South America.

It completely takes over the city of Chicago every summer and doesn’t ease its grip for four days.

What can you do at Lollapalooza?

While the rockin’ outdoor concerts are the biggest draw, they’re far from the only attractions.

Art lovers can check out the paintings and sculptures of the Art Market; food lovers can hit Chow Town and its dozens of vendors offering everything from pork dumplings to lobster corn dogs.

There are also games, activities, workshops and tons of other activities for visitors of all ages.

Kids under 10 get in free!

If you’re wondering what to do in the hazy, late summer days of your Illinois vacation, you won’t want to miss Lollapalooza.

More than a quarter of a million people descend on the lakefront every year to eat, drink, dance and generally have the time of their lives.
