Sueños (music festival) explained
Sueños is an annual American music festival held in Chicago since 2022 showcasing reggaeton and latin trap.[1] [2] [3]
History
Sueños was started in 2022 by the producers of the Baja Beach Fest in collaboration with C3 Presents, the production team of Lollapalooza, and Reventon, a local entertainment company.[3] [4] [5]

Sueños originally hosted 80,000 people at Grant Park in Chicago in May 2022.[7] [8] [9] [10] The organizers also partnered with Kennedy-King College to set up a music industry career fair.[11] The 2022 festival brought $120.9 million to the local economy and the festival donated $50,000 to the Pilsen Neighbors Community Council for the Fiesta Del Sol scholarships.
