Which area has the best music festivals?

I think what works nicely for anyone planning a trip to the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan is that Summerfest and Taste of Chicago usually run at the same exact time or, if not, only days apart.

So taking both in is a great idea.

The nation's first outdoor permanent summer music festival exists between Chicago and Milwaukee. And being that it is in a very suburban Chicago location, far closer to the Windy city.

I'm thinking of the Ravnia Festival inHighland Park in his fabulous wooded open air setting blocks away from Lake Michigan. Summer home of the Chicago symphony., Ravinia gets top notch, high profile talent all summer long.

As has been noted here, Chicago may well be the summer festival capital of the nation. And the Pritzer Pavillion downtown in Millennium Park, offers some parallels to Ravinia.

Ultra doesn’t look like it’s anywhere on the same level as EDC. I’ll be going Coachella again next month, against my wishes, and I’ll make sure to let you know how it went. Sorry if I offended you, your event, or city, but I still stand by my statement that plenty put on a better event.

Opinion: Ultra vs EDC Las Vegas - EDM Daycare | Best EDM Blog | EDM Blog for Music Festivals, Electronic Dance Music, & it's Incredible Culture!

But the thing is that while Ultra is going on there are so many other EDM events going on at the same time around Miami and Miami Beach (such as the Winter Music Conference) that it's a totally different experience. EDC is an event. Ultra and the WMC include more than 500 different events in like 100 different places. You read that right, 500. Just look how many events are in the links I posted below. It's unreal and nothing in the world comes close to the amount of different things that are going on during that week.

When you’re on enough drugs, anything can be life changing. Hell, Fyre Festival was life changing for everyone who went.

But I will say Ultra was fun personally. I haven’t done EDC. Too old now.

Lol, you beat me to it. If an EDM or any music festival for that matter is life changing you might want to consider giving the whole drug thing a rest.

Or just do WAY more drugs. Worked for me.
