For Details on Chow Town 2011!


Rushing between bands is hard work and you’ve got to take breaks to nosh, hydrate, and recharge.

This year Lollapalooza offers more dining options than ever. Chow Town, two different food courts on the Northside and Southside of Grant Park, is expanding and Chicago’s own chef and tv personality, Graham Elliot Bowles, has come onboard as the festival’s first ever Culinary Director.

Look for about 15 new restaurants at Lollapalooza, along with returning favorites, which together will offer a culinary line-up to match the festival’s hyped headlining musical acts.

Lederhosen Beer Garden

Situated in a beautiful and shady section of Grant Park, Lederhosen’s features ice cold craft beers like Becks, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, and Shock Top. You’ll also find the Haus of Sausage serving up bratwurst, pork-chop sandwiches and hot pretzels. Plus, plenty of seating and live performances on big screen TVs.

Uncorked Featuring Estancia

Enjoy the festival in style at Uncorked. This big, tented lounge features outdoor patio seating and large video screens to take in Lolla performances while you relax and sip on a glass of Pinot Grigio, Shiraz, or Riesling.

Farmer's Market

Picnic in the park with goods from the Green Street Farmers Market. Located West of Buckingham Fountain, the Farmers Market gives you even more dining choices. Support local restaurants and farmers who are offering fresh, tasty delights such as organic baked goods, smoothies made from berries grown locally, coffee drinks, yogurt, fresh fruit, veggies, cheese and more.
