Summer Sounds on the Green brings great music to the Village Green across the street from the NOW Arena on select Thursdays during the summer months. The music varies from rock, pop, soul, big band, country and more! The venue provides a Ravinia-like experience with a large lawn area that offers plenty of space for concert-goers to set up foldable chairs and picnic areas. Don’t feel like packing your own eats and drinks? See below for some of the great concessions the Village Green offers!

All concerts begin at 7pm on the Village Green.

Bring a picnic! Coolers, food, drinks, chairs, blankets, small tables and almost anything else are allowed for you to enjoy the concert. Seating is first come, first serve so come out early and find a spot to enjoy the evening. Food and beverage is for sale on the premises!

BOPOLOGY

Big Band / Swing

A musical tribute to the Rat-Pack and Swing era, Bopology blends their 50’s and 60’s style for park districts whose residents consist mostly of families and seniors. As a powerhouse entertainment package rather than a crooner with musicians, they bring to your event an alternative to rock n’ roll without being boring or stodgy. For example, to keep kids happy they distribute free stickers as “The Flintstones Theme” is played and songs like “Sing, Sing, Sing,” “In the Mood,” and “Jump, Jive and Wail” keep the adults entertained. With significant name-recognition as a top Chicago Swing Band, your audience will make a special point to attend the show.
