Established in 2011, Slow & Low: Chicago Lowrider Festival is a cultural heritage event celebrating the Lowrider movement. This thoughtfully curated event showcases the distinctive artistic and captivating mechanical characteristics, highlighting its significance as an American folk and contemporary art form.
The event is now in its 12th year. It is recognized as the largest gathering of Lowrider culture and community in Chicago, with over 60 car, bicycle, and motorcycle clubs represented.
The roots of Lowrider culture date back to the 1940s in urban, predominantly Latino communities when automobile culture began to flourish across the United States, with southern California serving as a vibrant epicenter. The Lowrider movement is an important Chicano-American cultural innovation and a multi-billion-dollar global phenomenon.
