Dribble, dunk, defense: Chicago Bulls’ Bulls Fest comes back for its second year

The Chicago Bulls’ Bulls Fest returns for its second year at the United Center on Saturday, August 19 and Sunday, August 20.

This two-day free festival is the largest interactive basketball experience in Chicago, offering activities such as youth clinics, 3V3 tournaments, photo opportunities with Bulls legends, and dunk and 3-point contests.

Attendees have the chance to complete NBA combine drills, including wingspan measurement, vertical jump, shuttle run, and ¾ court sprint. There will also be four open courts for fans to shoot around with friends, dribble, and meet other Bulls fans.

The organization will also offer youth clinics for $10 at registration. Kids have the chance to learn and fine-tune their skills alongside Bulls legends over the span of both days. Bulls entertainment will include appearances from the Luvabulls, Jesse White Tumblers, Bucket Boys, 312 Crew, and Bulls DJs.

The fest will also feature an interactive exhibit with art curated by All-Star Press Chicago. Fans can learn about each artist and shop for one-of-a-kind prints. Attendees also have the opportunity to meet Bulls legends and grab a photo.
