At least six people were taken to area hospitals late Saturday night with a variety of injuries from Riot Fest in Humboldt Park.
The Chicago Fire Department transported six people four in good-to-fair condition, two in fair-to-serious condition but it's not clear how many people were taken by private ambulances that were staffing the event.
Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Michael Sullivan said the people sustained various minor injuries. It's not clear how they received those injuries.

Who in their right mind would label a festival “Riot Fest” in a major city with a violence problem?

2) Why would the city allow something called "Riot Fest"?
3) Who would attend something called "Riot Fest"?
Just asking.
GMTA and often in close succession...

No attendees would know what that word means.
Only six?
PFFFTT - we would send more than that to the ER during our Brigade’s (1st Armored, 3rd Brigade “Bulldogs” Bamberg Germany) annual competitive push ball matches back in the 80’s. Got so bad one year that the post senior medical officer came to the field and ordered the matches stopped. I think the guy who had the broken rib / punctured lung is what caused the officer to tell us to stop.
Are you going to festival, friend?

Answers:
1) Community Organizers
2) Community Organizers run the city of Chicago.

Somehow, I suspect hippity-hop music was involved.
Looked like most of the bands were over the hill acts from the 80s.
YOUNG people, espeically teenagers. What do they know?
Did you happen to watch "KIDS WHO KILL" on the boobustoobus last night? SCARY.
Riot Fest 2013, Saturday: Faces in the crowd
Although Deborah Harry performed with Blondie (a band from the 80's, for you young whippersnappers).
The organizer's website:
All that was missing was The Clash to play “White Riot.”
