Summer Smash PHOTO GALLERY: Post Malone, Polo G

Playboi Carti, Post Malone and surprise guest Quavo were among the artists at this weekend’s music celebration in Douglass Park.

Sunday’s Summer Smash lineup peaked with a towering finale by Playboi Carti.

Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash Festival, one of the largest showcases for hip-hop, wrapped up Sunday at Douglass Park (1401 S. Sacramento Dr.).

The festival featured three stages with some of the biggest musicmakers in the genre. Bars, a culinary village and immersive art experiences were also part of the mix.

You couldn’t have asked for better weather on Saturday and Sunday, as the skies over Chicago were a turquoise blue and the humidity-free sunshine was served well by cool breezes.

Thousands flocked to the festival grounds for a lineup of more than 60 artists including G Herbo, Polo G, Dreezy, Playboi Carti, BIA, Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz, and headliner/first-time papa Post Malone. Malone’s fiancee gave birth to their daughter recently (the date has not been revealed, nor has the identity of the singer’s longtime lady love).

Cordae and Quavo dropped by for surprise sets.

Here’s a look at some of the sights and sounds from Saturday and Sunday.
