Sueños Music Festival returned for its 4th year to Grant Park, celebrating Latin culture and music.

Latin music fans across Chicago and beyond gathered at Grant Park over Memorial Day weekend for the fourth annual Sueños Music Festival.

The two-day festival featured a reggaeton-centric lineup with veteran vocalists Don Omar and Wisin alongside up-and-coming acts like Omar Courtz. The festival also featured EDM music for the first time with sets from DJs Gordo and Deorro.

Some of the most anticipated performances included that of Colombian singer Shakira and Mexican singer-songwriter Peso Pluma, who debuted Saturday night. Last year’s Peso Pluma performance was canceled due to severe storms.

Sueños, which translates to dreams, began in 2022 as a celebration of Reggaetón music and Latin culture with nearly 45,000 attendees.

Now, the event’s popularity led organizers to expand the festival grounds with a new second stage and more options for local food vendors such as Tecalitlan Mexican Kitchen, Carnitas Don Alfredo and Arepa George.
