I AM FEST

COVID-19 continues to cause cancellations. I AM FEST at House of Blues Chicago is among the most recent festival cancellation announcements.

The final decision to cancel this year’s festival comes after careful consideration of the mounting health concerns and community hardships arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.

I AM FEST will return in 2021. Until then, stay safe and be well. In the meantime, follow I AM Fest on Facebook, Instagram and visit our website: IAMFest.com

Cheers!
