Classical Campers provides an appealing, artist-led introduction to classical music through engaged storytelling and interactive workshops. This year, the Festival's Project Inclusion fellows will 
hit the road to bring programming to a number of Chicago Park District locations in support of Mayor Lightfoot’s Invest South/West priority neighborhoods for kids 6-12.
Our popular Classical Campers music immersion typically
welcomes some 1,500 youngsters to the Jay Pritzker Pavilion for up-close, artist-led programming, including a front-row seat during a working rehearsal of the Grant Park Orchestra. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the program will be operating in a modified format during the 2021 Festival.
Family Fun Activities
Gather the kids for some family fun at home. Follow along with a variety of musical activities, including instrument making, storytelling and more.
