Lyrical Lemonade Festival
Officially known as the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash Festival. The second annual lyrical lemonade festival was held on June 29-30, 2019 in Douglas Park Chicago Illinois. It is a two day festival featuring some of Hip-Hops most notable up and coming artists. The festival is organized by Cole Bennet and his brand Lyrical Lemonade. Lyrical Lemonade based out of Chicago is a Music Video Direction Company. The first day of the festival was headlined by the artists Playboi Carti and Lil Yachty. While the second day of the festival was headlined by Juice WRLD and Kodak Black. Due to legal reasons Kodak Black was replaced by Gucci Mane. This was one of the last performances by headliner Juice WRLD as he would later pass away due to an accidental overdose in December of 2019. The second day of the festival was halted by thunder storms but would ultimately resume hours later.

Festival Woes
Besides the long lines and summer heat the first day of the festival ran as planned. The second day of the festival was barred by storms and was ultimately postponed for a few hours. The storms cleared and the second day of the festival proceeded as planned with the late Juice WRLD performing as scheduled.

Reception
This festival brings together some of the most popular up and coming rappers. It rivals fellow Chicago Music Festival Lollapalooza as the most popular Chicago Hip-hop/Rap festival. The plans of the upcoming 2020 Summer Smash remains unclear as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The event brings together the most popular Chicago brands and attendees often have to wait hours in lines in order to purchase products. Collaborations of the lyrical lemonade brand include Jordan Brand.
