Now in its 4th year, Sueños is quickly becoming an institution in the Chicago community and a premier destination for Latin music fans from all around the world. In Fall 2024, Sueños producers C3 Presents and La Familia Presenta, secured a new 5-year deal with the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District, which will allow the Sueños team to continue bringing music lovers together in one of the nation’s most vibrant cities.
With fewer than six weeks left until the festival, Sueños prepares for yet another amazing year.
