Music, Movies, and More in the Park

April 15, 2016 by Eric Bennion

Music in the Park at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago

I love summer!  I look forward to it every year.  Without a doubt one of my most favorite things about summer is entertainment in local parks.  Getting out and enjoying the area that has been set aside for public enjoyment and taking in a  good movie or listening to great music.

Now most of the municipalities out here in the greater Chicagoland area do some variation on this theme.  My family loves getting together and enjoying the summer concert series our village of Downers Grove puts on each summer.

If for whatever reason their isn’t something local for you, don’t worry the City of Chicago has you covered.  The Millennium Park Film series and Music series has been announced, along with the Grant Park Music Festival.

From Orchestral to Indie Rock you’ll get your Music fix and then some.  If you like the Movies among the films you can come downtown to see are, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, West Side Story, and Purple Rain.

Bring a Blanket and a picnic or some snacks and join a few 1000 other people for a few summer events your family will love.

…and by the way, it is all FREE!

Grab your calendars and hop over to the following links so you can schedule a few of these events!
