The kids area will be open Friday from 3-6 p.m., and Saturday/Sunday from 12-6 p.m.

Additionally, the festival recently announced the Pitchfork Music Festival Voter Engagement and Mobilization Project, a new platform to support voter registration and political participation. In conjunction with the Public Action Foundation, the Voter Engagement and Mobilization Project aims to make a difference in both Chicago and the wider Pitchfork community.
