Each summer, the Grant Park Music Festival brings music to the neighborhoods through the popular Night Out in 
the Parks series. Part of a vast lineup of Chicago Park District events, ranging from the performing arts to film to nature programs, Night Out in the Parks features artists from the Grant Park Music Festival, including the Festival String and Vocal fellows, the Grant Park Chorus, and members of the Grant Park Orchestra. All neighborhood concerts are free, family-friendly, and take place during the Festival season.
