Chicago Pilgrims

This is going to be the hub for news on The Pilgrimage, a documentary about the search for the authentic music festival experience.

Music festivals have become a pillar of the summer experience for teenagers and young adults in America. We, like most young adults, have the typical dream of driving our parents’ car to Tennessee to experience one of the premier music festivals in the world, Bonnaroo. Although we’d like to make it interesting. We will take this trip through the back roads and the unseen side of authentic America, to discover America in the manner of Kerouac and Burroughs. Our goal is to search for the authentic magic of today’s music festival phenomena, by taking you (the viewer) on the trip with us, down the backbone of America on route to the greatest gathering of today’s most relevant music.
