2016 Millennium Park Summer Music Series

The new Millennium Park Summer Music Series (formerly the Downtown Sound and Made in Chicago concert series) features established and emerging local, national, and international musicians. As you will see when you explore the artists' websites, the concerts are not limited by genre. There is something for everyone!

Concerts are 6:30 p.m.–9 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays from June 6 through August 25 (there are a few exceptions; if a date isn't on the schedule, there's no Summer Music Series concert that evening). Concert admission is free!
