Annotated Bibliography
I am studying Chicago festivals and events, such as the Chicago Marathon and
Lollapalooza, and how the rhetoric from related advertisements and media establish a claim
about the culture of the city and their ensured success. I am interested in the topic because I have
been to both events multiple times, and have witnessed how the Marathon and Lollapalooza
change from year to year in both scope and audience. The way each event is advertised is not
only unique, but also is specific to the desired audience and message. I am an avid runner and I
have a significant interest in music, so I thought this would be a good topic for me to research.
My major research questions would include how these events effect the tourism, economy, and
culture of the city of Chicago. Additionally, the success of the advertisements and execution of
these events could be debated.
"Bank of America Chicago Marathon." Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Bank of America
Coorporation, 2015. Web. 22 Mar. 2015.
This source contains general information about the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
It is the official website and sponsor of the event. It also includes information about how
significant and important completing the marathon can be for elite and everyday runners
alike. Additionally, there is a course map, schedule of events, history of the race, and

many statistics from past years. The intended audience is anyone participating in the
event or any spectators or tourists. This source will be useful for background information
and facts about the Chicago marathon, as well as a source for the media promoting the
marathon (commercials, posters, apparel, etc.). This source is credible because it is run by
the official sponsor of the event.
"Complaints Cause Organizers to Reduce Music Festival Volume in Chicago."UPI. UPI, 26 May
2013. Web. 23 Mar. 2015.
UPI, the author of this article, stands for United Press International. This news service is
an international news agency located in Washington, D.C. The intended audience
included anyone interested in the controversy that Chicago’s large-scale music festivals
create amongst the city’s residents. Nearby residents have been complaining about the
noise levels of the Chicago festivals, and the organizers of the festivals said that they
would turn down the volume after being informed of these complaints. This source has
useful information regarding the negatives of Chicago’s festivals. Residents as far as
seven miles away can hear fireworks and loud music every Friday night. This source will
help my argument by providing an opposing viewpoint towards the festivals that bring so
much revenue into the city. This will add another dimension to my argument, because
there is not too much information on any dispute people have about the yearly festival
being put on in Chicago.

Cohen, Ronald D. A History of Folk Music Festivals in the United States: Feasts of Musical
Celebration. Lanham, MD: Scarecrow, 2008. Print.
Ronald Cohen is a U.S. History professor at Indiana University Northwest, and has
multiple books about this topic. This book includes a collection of music festivals in the
United States both big and small from the nineteenth century until now. This source will
provide insight into other music festivals besides Lollapalooza, and help illustrate just
how much impact Lollapalooza has on the city of Chicago compared to other festivals.
This source is credible because the author cites a large range of both primary and
secondary sources that cover a variety of festivals from all across the country. I will be
able to have information about music festivals from across the country, and this way, I
will be able to use comparison between them in order to add to my argument. In addition,
this book talks about how certain festivals were formed and their backgrounds, providing
insight into the reasoning behind why and when these festivals emerged and how they
survived.
Rabin, Carol Price., and Carol Price. Rabin. Music Festivals in America. Stockbridge, MA:
Berkshire Traveller, 1983. Print.
This book features 170 musical events from all different music genres. Each festival is
described in pretty thorough detail, and she also includes a glimpse of the artists and
important background information. The book lists each festival by state, and I will be
able to take note of the difference in impact that each festival has from state to state. The
intended audience is anyone that appreciates music, and it is valuable because I will be

able to analyze different music festivals around the country in order to see how
Lollapalooza compares to other festivals. I can note how these festivals effect the
economy and tourism in these other areas, and learn if the location of Lollapalooza is also
important. Because there are so many other festivals in this book that cover a wide
variety of genres, I can also analyze the rhetoric from other festivals (from posters,
advertisements, etc,) to compare and contrast those festivals’ impact alongside Chicago
music festivals’ impact.
Reed, Monica C. "Music Festivals and the Formation of Chicago Culture." Journal of the Illinois
State Historical Society (1998-) 103.1 (2010): 67-89. JSTOR. Web. 23 Mar. 2015.
In this source, Monica Reed talks about how different festivals in Chicago, dating back to
1930, have shaped the culture of Chicago over time. Because this source covers so much
time, I will be able to compare the effect of music festivals in the past to large-scale
festivals that are still in operation. I will also be able to note how the numbers of
spectators have changed. In the 1930s, spectators were counted by the thousands; now
that number has grown exponentially over the years, and this effects tourism and revenue
generated by the festivals of today. I can also talk about how the ages of spectators have
changed, and how this also has an effect on the impact of festivals. Lastly, the popular
music genres that have been featured in these events certainly have changed, and I can
comment on that as well, demonstrating how this effects the overall impact of the
festival.

Rumore, Aubrey. "Snapchat Progresses as Social, Cultural Platform."University Wire [Carlsbad]
30 Oct. 2014: n. pag. Print.
This source demonstrates the importance of social media during festivals today. Snapchat
is a way for the festivals to be captured through the eyes of regular, unbiased festival-
goers. Because non-news source people can now create evidence of their experiences,
this creates valuable information about the festival that might not be available on a
website or a newspaper article. Snapchat changes culture and social activity because
people can share their experience. The “our story” option allows anyone to upload a
picture and video from the given location. At a festival such as Lollapalooza, the “our
story” is now a resource that we can analyze.
