Summary
Michelada Fest (Miche Fest), a three-day music festival originally scheduled for June 26-28, 2026 in Chicago's Union Park, has been canceled. Organizers Fernando Nieto and Miguel Torres announced the event will instead move back to Pilsen in September as a free street festival. This follows a previous cancellation in 2025 due to concerns about artist visas and heightened immigration enforcement in Chicago. The organizers emphasized their independence and commitment to honesty with their community.
