The final Silver Room Sound System Block Party got off to a rough start Saturday, but attendees still found a good time as they celebrated the beloved festival’s weekend swan song.
The long-lived dance music party is holding its last hurrah this weekend after 18 years. Over those nearly two decades, the festival grew from its humble origins in a Wicker Park alley to become a South Side giant that drew tens of thousands of spectators to Hyde Park and later to Bronzeville’s lakefront.
