The annual culinary meets concert experience of Windy City Smokeout is always a winning combination, but considering 2023 marked its tenth anniversary, it was that much more of a milestone occasion. Those who were able to score a ticket to the sold out event were treated to a bunch of barbeque, brews and bands, including those led by Zach Bryan, Jo Dee Messina, Bailey Zimmerman and a bunch of other country favorites, who filled up the United Center parking lot during the first few weeknights on the way to what’s sure to be a wonderfully wild weekend.
