\"chicago<\/a>Millennium Park is hosting yet another free event that’s perfect for summer, and this one’s all about paying tribute to an internationally-acclaimed genre that was born right here in our city.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, May 27 from 2pm\u00a0– 9pm,\u00a0local DJs will gather for live performances at the Chicago House Party, a celebration of the revolutionary dance music genre that has influenced artists since the 1980s, when DJs like Frankie Knuckles introduced it to the world.<\/p>\n

Presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, there’s more to the Chicago House Party than, well, the party. A House Music Conference will be held at the Chicago Cultural Center in the days preceding the music event that includes seminars and discussions on the genre for artists, industry professionals, and music aficionados.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re old school and prefer the disco-laced house music of the 80s or you’re a young’un who gets down to more recent subgenres like deep house and acid house, this all-ages event is great for anyone who loves Chicago music.<\/p>\n
