Beyond Wonderland brings its immersive festival experience to the Midwest in 2027

Beyond Wonderland is venturing out to the Chicagoland suburbs next year, an unexpected twist that steps away from the city and into a new camping festival experience. Beyond Wonderland Midwest will take place from June 10th-13th at Chicagoland Speedway. This exciting expansion brings the festival away from the city of Chicago and into Joliet, Illinois, a suburb about an hour from downtown that will be transformed into a magical land of wonder. Previously this festival was only two days, and this move allows it to be a full four-day camping extravaganza, stacked with immersive experiences and a lineup we’re dying to see.
