THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO - COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL & CHICAGO MARATHON
Go out to Soldier Field on this
fantastic balmy autumn weekend and celebrate Chicago's Country Music Festival.
2008 marks a big change for the
event. The Chicago
Country Music Festival will be moving to a new location and a new date!
Mayor Daley is a country music
fan and recognized a need for a Chicago Country Music Festival in the city.
Chicago, after all, has a
rich heritage in country music and has a vast number of country
singers/songwriters and bands here. Due
to the large number of celebrants, the time of year and facility Chicago changed locations to
better accommodate the crowds.
The Chicago Country Music Festival moves to the Soldier
Field Parkland and will kick off a weekend full of music and activities
beginning Saturday, October 11 through Sunday, October 12, 2008. Admission is free and there will be several
stages providing entertainment for all ages.
