Mundelein, Illinois – September 6, 2025, and September 7, 2025, will mark a significant moment in the burgeoning intersection of music, culture, and legal cannabis in the Midwest with the return of The Miracle in Mundelein.
Presented by RYTHM Premium Cannabis, Dayglo Presents, and Deep Cut, this third annual festival is set to take place at 1255 Armour Blvd, Mundelein, IL 60060, located directly across from the RISE Dispensary Mundelein. The event distinguishes itself as one of the few in the region offering legal on-site cannabis consumption, providing attendees with a unique, regulated environment to enjoy both live performances and cannabis products.
A Convergence of Music and Cannabis Culture
The festival is organized by Green Thumb Industries Inc., the parent company of RYTHM Premium Cannabis and RISE Dispensaries, and features a diverse lineup designed to appeal to a wide array of musical tastes while embracing the cannabis lifestyle. Partners for the event include Señorita THC Margarita and RISE Dispensaries, underscoring the blend of industry players supporting the initiative.
Attendees must be aged 21 or older, a strict requirement to comply with Illinois’ cannabis regulations. This age restriction ensures that the event adheres to legal guidelines governing cannabis sales and consumption in the state.
Navigating Cannabis Access at the Festival
The event structure provides multiple avenues for attendees interested in cannabis and related products. Legal adult-use cannabis products will be available for purchase in-store at the adjacent RISE Dispensary Mundelein. This arrangement allows festival-goers convenient access to a regulated supply of cannabis before entering the festival grounds.
Crucially, within the festival perimeter itself, hemp-derived THC products and beverages will be available for sale. The designated on-site consumption area facilitates the legal use of cannabis by attendees, a key feature that sets The Miracle in Mundelein apart from many other music festivals. This dual approach – licensed dispensary sales off-site and compliant hemp-derived product sales and consumption on-site – navigates the complexities of event regulations surrounding cannabis.
Star-Studded Musical Performances Announced
The 2025 iteration promises a compelling roster of musical talent. The announced lineup features an eclectic mix of genres, reflecting the diverse tastes often found within the cannabis community. Headlining acts include reggae icon Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, legendary hip-hop group De La Soul, acclaimed jam band Umphrey’s McGee, and perennial Grateful Dead tribute act Dark Star Orchestra.
Other artists are expected to join the bill, solidifying the festival’s reputation for bringing together high-caliber performers. Michael Berg, Founder of Deep Cut, commented on the curation of the lineup, stating that it was designed to “blend cannabis culture with diverse music subcultures like reggae, hip-hop, and jam bands.” This intentional programming aims to create a harmonious atmosphere where fans of different genres can come together.
Event Logistics and Ticket Information
The festival is scheduled across two days, September 6 and 7, 2025, promising a full weekend of music, culture, and legal cannabis engagement. The venue at 1255 Armour Blvd, Mundelein, IL 60060, directly opposite the RISE Dispensary Mundelein, provides a familiar and accessible location for returning attendees and newcomers alike.

The Growing Landscape of Cannabis-Inclusive Events
The continuation of The Miracle in Mundelein for a third year underscores a growing trend in states with legal adult-use cannabis: the integration of legal consumption opportunities into large-scale public events. While still relatively uncommon, festivals like this serve as important case studies for how cannabis consumption can be safely and legally incorporated into mainstream entertainment.
The organizers emphasize a commitment to responsible consumption and compliance with all state and local regulations. The event not only provides entertainment but also subtly normalizes the legal use of cannabis within a regulated, social setting.
As the legal cannabis market matures, events such as The Miracle in Mundelein are poised to become more prevalent, offering consumers structured and lawful environments to enjoy both cannabis and cultural experiences. The 2025 festival in Mundelein is anticipated to draw attendees from across Illinois and neighboring states, eager to participate in this unique cultural convergence.
