Today, June 6, 2026, saw the Chicago Blues Festival charge into Day 2 of its annual run. The day included performances by Billy Branch and the Sons of the Blues, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Nick Moss, Ruthie Foster, Shakura S’Aida, Dylan Triplett, and Dexter Allen. Here are my thoughts about and images from the day.

Many people expressed a lot of concern when the City decided to move the 2017 Chicago Bluesfest to Millennium Park rather than continuing to use the longstanding location at Petrillo Music Shell and the side stages in Grant Park. People did not want to substitute concrete for grass. Overall, I think the City did a great job in prepping Millennium Park for the onslaught of blues enthusiasts and casual passersby who heard the music wafting from the four stages as they enjoyed the Bean and the Crown Fountain.
