Headliners include Jim Jones and Chicago’s Pivot Gang, Baha Banks and DJ Vic Lloyd. With a zone for kids just steps away from the adults, there’s something for everyone in the family, organizers say. 

“It’s an opportunity for us to show the city what the West Side has to offer,” said Briahna Gatlin,  founder of the local public relations group.

Tickets start at $25 for children and $55 for adults. For more information visit thepbparty.com.
