Chosen Few Reunion Weekend What started in 1990 as a small picnic featuring a group of old friends from the early days of house music has grown into a four-day festival that includes a kickoff at the Shrine on Thu 7/5, a preparty at the Mid on Fri 7/6, an afterparty at L26 on Sat 7/7, and a sendoff show at the Shrine on Sun 7/8—and of course the picnic itself, which runs from 7 AM to 8 PM on Sat 7/7 in Jackson Park and is expected to draw roughly 20,000 people. Performers throughout the weekend include Al Ester, Linda Clifford, Wayne Williams, Louie Vega, Kevin Hedge, Leroy Burgess, and of course the Chosen Few DJs (Wayne Williams, Alan King, Jesse Saunders, Tony Hatchett, Terry Hunter, and Andre Hatchett). Each event’s price is different, and various ticket packages are available; general admission to the picnic alone is $10.
