Brass, Beats, and Bold Spirits: Chicago 1920s at Music World

When Music World opens its gates, guests will be transported to one of the most electrifying eras in music history—Chicago in the 1920s. This iconic decade will come alive, immersing every hero who enters in the heart-pounding rhythms of jazz, the bold freedom of the flapper era, and the undeniable spirit of Will.

In this vibrant town within Music World, guests will stroll down bustling streets lined with speakeasies, vintage theaters, and lively dance halls. The air will be filled with the sounds of brass instruments, soulful singers, and the infectious energy of improvisational jazz. Every corner will pulse with life, echoing the determination and resilience that defined Chicago in this transformative decade.

Will is the guiding virtue of this town—the force that kept musicians pushing boundaries, dreamers building their futures, and dancers moving even when times were tough. Guests will feel that same drive as they experience hands-on music sessions, step onto a recreated 1920s stage alongside jazz greats, or learn the Charleston from lively Captains leading the crowd.

The streets will tell stories—from the roaring triumphs of artists like Louis Armstrong to the daring spirits who brought music into hidden speakeasies. Each building will carry its own history, with vintage facades brought to life through 3D-printed designs, crafted sustainably to honor both the past and the future.

Guests will not only listen to music—they will become part of it. Whether swinging to a big band under golden lights, sipping a vintage-inspired cocktail while hearing a saxophone solo, or making their own beat in an interactive rhythm workshop, every experience will ignite their inner Will—to create, to move, and to never stop dreaming.

Chicago 1920s will be more than a tribute to jazz; it will be a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the enduring power of music to push us forward. In Music World, the spirit of Will will inspire every hero to take their next step—on the dance floor and in life.
