6 Corners BBQ Fest will return for the fourth year to Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, showcasing a weekend of local restaurants dishing out a menu of summer classics: ribs, burgers, hot dogs and more! This eclectic neighborhood along Milwaukee Avenue will be reflected in the wide range of activities -- from professional wrestling to crafts for adults; from pop-up street theater to an amateur cook-off. Plus, the kids will have a blast on the inflatables. Two stages showcase the finest in local bands and family entertainment, and all eyes will be on our 2nd Annual 'Saturday MIGHT Wrestling?
