About Sueños:
Sueños Music Festival, founded in 2021, unites the city of Chicago under the banner of incredible Reggaeton and Latin Music. Bringing unprecedented star power to Grant Park and offering spectacular views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline, Sueños Festival (translation: dreams), was created to be an inclusive event with a mission to continue to celebrate and uplift Latin culture and the extraordinary music, people, food, and amazing energy that comes along with it.
Sueños takes pride in its meaningful contribution to Chicago’s Latin communities year-round, with a focus on supporting youth initiatives and Latin-owned businesses. This includes a partnership with Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center to develop youth art centers in Chicago’s predominantly Latin neighborhood, Hermosa, along with scholarships and immigration services for Latin communities through its collaboration with Pilsen Neighbors Community Council. Sueños’ ongoing partnership with the National Museum of Mexican Art includes a program to deliver art supplies to aspiring art students, a festival activation that allows young writers from the museum’s youth journalism program to conduct interviews at the festival, and a program that integrates art created by the museum’s youth mural program into the festival. In addition, Sueños has partnered with Puerto Rican Arts Alliance to provide music education programs and studio arts programs for children on the Southwest Side, including Chicago Public Schools’ vital after school and summer programs. Sueños supports Latin-owned businesses in the city through festival partnerships and its 20 Days of Sueños initiative, which shines a spotlight on 20 Latin-owned Chicago restaurants over a 20-day period, further amplifying the talent within Chicago’s Latin communities.
In 2024, Sueños Music Festival contributed $240 million to the Chicago economy and paid $1,992,952 in direct rent payments to the Chicago Park District. Additionally, the festival generated more than $2.01 million in amusement tax revenue for the City of Chicago and Cook County.
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.
