CHICAGO -- The second day of the Sueños Music Festival in Grant Park was delayed for hours on Sunday due to severe weather , and that was not the only disappointment for festival goers, who ended up evacuating from the park before the night ended. The festival start was delayed from noon to 4 p.m. As thousands entered the gates for day two of the festival, clouds began peaking through skyscrapers. Around 7:45 p.m.
Today, absolute downpour, thunder, lightning, but we still made it out today, so we're expecting a great time.' That was before the rain came in, sending many who traveled to Chicago home for a soggy end to the festival. 'We're all traveling here from Washington, DC. They delayed it four hours without any updates. They cut half of the lineup. They let one artist sing then half of the artists of a headliner, no headline tonight,' said Ignacio Zavala.
