Happy Bday GRC Chicago!

Grassroots Chicago had a busy weekend starting on 4/20. That day we celebrated the official opening of our flagship store! We were lucky enough to have the homie Manic Focus drop in for a meet n greet and mini set. We were fortunate enough to listen to his newest album "Minds Rising" before the official release and this was also his first time playing a DJ Set on CDJs. Everyone loved the vibe of his mini set and of course his new album too. You can watch a previous live stream of his set on the Grassroots Chicago Facebook page.

The Movement Gallery was getting ready for its' biggest show yet - Year of the Bear! With over 40 different artists on the roster we were expecting a good turn out. Leading up to the opening party on 4/22 we expanded the gallery to accommodate this show and all future ones. The upstairs got a new sales section, checkout counter, and window display throughout the year, so it was only right to give the gallery an uplift as well.

The opening party was a huge hit! People poured in and out throughout the day and many stuck around for a while. To commemorate the event we made an official Year of the Bear snap-back hat. Shout out to Eva Lucia for the delicious pastries she cooked herself, Revolution Brewery and Passion House Coffee for the refreshing drinks and Sky Society for the beats!
