Tune in to the GenX Podcast for conversations about GenerationX’s influence on music and the importance of house music in Chicago. The Chosen Few Picnic & House Music Festival is the world’s longest-running event dedicated to House Music, drawing more than 40,000 fans to Chicago each July. Nicknamed the “Woodstock of House Music” for its family reunion vibe, the event began in 1990 as a small reunion of high school friends and family who gathered behind the Museum of Science & Industry to reminisce and celebrate the culture that birthed House Music on Chicago’s South Side.
