It was billed as the “premiere hip-hop music festival in the Midwest.” And with good reason. Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash Festival returned in a three-day iteration in Douglass Park, featuring an eclectic lineup of musicmakers and emcees.
The night’s headliners included Lil Uzi Vert, Don Toliver and, in the secret set billed only as “special guests,” hometown heroes Chance the Rapper and Lil Durk.
Here’s a look at some of the sights and sounds from the final day of the 2021 festival.
