Dillo Day is the largest student-run music festival in the country, bringing together over 12,000 college students for a day of live music, food, and immersive experiences on the shore of Lake Michigan. Beyond our main stage—where past artists like Kendrick Lamar, Steve Aoki, and Chance the Rapper have performed—the festival features Dillo Village.

Dillo Village is a dynamic space with a second stage showcasing local Chicago artists, interactive art installations, and a variety of food vendors. It offers sponsors and corporate partners a unique opportunity to engage directly with a vibrant, college-aged audience (18-22 years old) through activations, giveaways, and brand experiences.

We'd love to collaborate with you to create an engaging, standout presence at Dillo Day 2024. To explore sponsorship opportunities, please reach out to us at corporate@dilloday.com.
