CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- What had been a mass vaccination site outside the United Center is now the site of the city’s first large-scale outdoor music festival since 2019.
The Windy City Smokeout is billed as the nation's premier outdoor country music and BBQ festival features four days of live music from country music's biggest names and up-and-coming talent, plus the best BBQ and craft beer from around the country.
And this year, there will be new rules.
