editSueños was started in 2022 by the producers of the Baja Beach Fest in collaboration with C3 Presents, the production team of Lollapalooza, and Reventon, a local entertainment company.[3][4][5]

Sueños originally hosted 80,000 people at Grant Park in Chicago in May 2022.[7][8][9][10] The organizers also partnered with Kennedy-King College to set up a music industry career fair.[11] The 2022 festival brought $120.9 million to the local economy and the festival donated $50,000 to the Pilsen Neighbors Community Council for the Fiesta Del Sol scholarships.[9]
