SingStrong is a weekend-long a cappella music festival, featuring groups from around the world performing every style under the sun, from barbershop to doo-wop, pop to jazz, beatbox to overtone singing and beyond. Profits support the fight against Alzheimer's Disease and local music programs.
But we know your experience is about more than just the amazing performers. That's why we've gone out of our way to make sure the entire weekend flows smoothly for you.
All concerts and classes take place in one building, on one floor. Niles West High School. 5701 Oakton Street
Skokie, IL 60077. No running around from building to building, or worse, driving from class to concert.
All afterglows take place at the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-North Shore/Skokie
5201 Old Orchard Road. Skokie, Illinois USA 60077. Stay up late. Have fun. Stumble to your room when you're done. Easy!
All parking is free and plentiful. And we mean all. Parking at the hotel is free. Parking at the concerts and classes is free. Parking at most nearby restaurants is free. No parking tickets. No meters. No worries.
Don't feel like driving? No problem! All shuttles are free. That's right. You don't even need a car to get from the Hotel to the SingStrong concerts, classes and coachings, and back again.
All you need are tickets and a hotel reservation. Simple. Like a world class a cappella festival should be.
Coming from out of town? We've got you covered! Fly in to Chicago'as O'Hare Airport and take a taxi directly to the hotel, where you'll stay at a specially negotiated low rate.
After settling in at the hotel, on Friday at around 6 PM (approx), take the hotel's free shuttle just 10 minutes to SingStrong or drive and enjoy free parking onsite.
Your Full Weekend Pass provides access to all shows and classes. Plus, Full Weekend Passes offer tremendous savings over buying tickets individually.
Or, if you prefer, purchase a ClassPass for access to all classes, and then separately purchase just the concert tickets, a la carte, as you like. If you happen to be competing at SingStrong, you'll need either a Full Weekend Pass or a ClassPass. There are no other fees to apply or compete.
Ready for your first SingStrong event? Friday's ACA-Idol Pro & Collegiate Competition begins at 7PM. Groups compete in fast-paced, 10 minute sets for $1,000. Celebrity judges give witty, live, on-mic commentary. As an audience member, you get to vote by celphone. (No cumbersome paper ballots to slow down the show.) Or perhaps you'd like to compete?
Every seat in the house has clear, unobstructed line of sight to the entire stage. And our stadium seating policy allows you to sit with friends, as you like, regardless of when you each purchased your tickets.
After the concert, join performers and attendees for food and drinks at the Ruby Tuesday's off the lobby of the Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago-North Shore/Skokie Hotel for a meet-and-greet afterglow. Socialize and network, but don't stay out too late on your first night, because Saturday's a big day!
