Riot Fest hit Chicago last weekend in Humboldt Park. The seven-year-old, four-city festival brought acts such as The Jesus and Mary Chain, NOFX, Elvis Costello, Less Than Jake, Alkaline Trio, Rise Against, and many others.
Opening night Friday was at the Congress Theater and Saturday and Sunday continued in the park from Augusta Blvd. to Division St. and Sacramento Ave. to Kedzie Ave. There were also carnival games and rides, vendors, and food booths.
Here is part one of the best photos from the fest.
