Mundelein, IL – A groundbreaking mix of music, community, and cannabis is back for its third year in the Chicago area. The Miracle in Mundelein, Illinois’ first cannabis-consumption-friendly music festival, is set to light up the northwest suburbs from September 6–7 with two days of live performances, curated cannabis experiences, and a vibe unlike any other.

Music Meets Marijuana Culture
Headliners this year include Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, De La Soul, Umphrey’s McGee, and Dark Star Orchestra, blending reggae, hip hop, jam band psychedelia, and Grateful Dead tributes to create a genre-crossing sonic experience.

Sunday, Sept. 7:

Beyond the Stage: A Cannabis Playground
Attendees can expect more than music. Organizers promise a full sensory experience with:
- Rolling Stations – Create your own joints with ease
- Cannabis Beverage Garden – Sip on infused drinks in a relaxed setting
- Dab Bars – For those who prefer concentrates
- Brand Activations – Explore the latest in cannabis products, tech, and accessories
Festivalgoers can also stock up at the adjacent RISE dispensary, or bring their own supply — as long as it aligns with event guidelines.
A Festival That’s Changing the Culture
“The Miracle in Mundelein continues to redefine the live event landscape,” organizers said. “It brings together top-tier musical acts and the freedom to consume cannabis in a celebratory, legal, and community-centered environment.”
With marijuana legalization continuing to reshape state laws and public norms, festivals like this are a glimpse into the future — where music and mindful cannabis use coexist in harmony.
