The venue for the event is the First Merit Bank Pavilion on Northerly Island which is located just south of the city on a narrow strip of land along the coast of Lake Michigan, making it a very unique and sought after location. This is one of the many venues that is home to a Mad Decent Block Party this summer… Check out the entire schedule of Block Parties here.
