It’s a sound. It’s a dance music genre. It’s a phenomenon. House music is the sensation that started in Chicago and spread around the world! It defined a generation and now, 40 years later, it’s the unmistakable sound of House music that gets people on their feet dancing, grooving and celebrating life!
Join us on Sept. 28 at RiverEdge Park to celebrate 40 years of beats with the A-Town House Music Fest, featuring a mix of 14 performers and DJs playing their own curated sets. This stellar festival programming is full of nonstop music–a big bang celebration at Aurora’s inaugural A-Town House Music Fest! Featuring the legendary DJs of House like Julian “Jumpin” Perez, Mike “Hitman” Wilson, Kickin Kenny Cahill, DJ Maurice “ICE” Culpepper, Sundance, Tim Spinnin Schommer, Mickey Mixin Oliver, DJ Darrell Foxx, Richard Graves, DJ Khaaliq and DJ Tito Latino. Plus, legendary musical artists including CeCe Peniston, Fast Eddie, and OutHere Brothers.
In 1984, a youth-led music movement began among the DJs of Chicago, combining soul, R&B, funk, electronica and irresistible four-on-the-floor beats. It rocketed from the underground dance scene to the radio, and flourishes in dance clubs and festivals around the world to this day. Jam to the upbeat rhythms, riffs and crazy tempos these talented DJs spin!
Celebrating House Music Month this September, Paramount’s RiverEdge Park brings the best of 2024’s DJs and musical artists to the party. Get ready for a lineup that taps into the powerful roots of electronic and dance music. You’ll want to be there for this!
