Concerts are rarely canceled due to rain, but in the event of dangerous weather, such as lightning or tornado warnings, patrons are advised to exit the Park. For immediate shelter, enter the parking garage on the northeast side of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion.

Pre-concert lectures for Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus concerts at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion begin one hour prior to the start of the concert. They are free and open to the public and take place in the Chase Promenade North Tent along the western edge of the pavilion.

Program notes are posted on the detail page of each concert.

You can access the member section with your One Night Pass presented either on your mobile device or on a printout.

We welcome visitors to take a seat in the pavilion and enjoy rehearsals of the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus. The rehearsal schedule varies, but (generally) starts mid-morning Tuesdays through Fridays and lasts until after lunch. On Tuesdays, the Orchestra rehearses twice with a second rehearsal in the afternoon.

Millennium Park was designed with accessibility in mind. Contact Patron Services via email or at 312.742.7647 for more information.

We welcome and encourage pickners. Outside alcoholic beverages are permitted. Food, beer and wine are available for purchase in the Park. There are numerous restaurants and a Mariano's grocery store within walking distance. Metal knives are not permitted.

People in the the Seating Bowl tend to listen to the music. Some people talk while seated on the Great Lawn. We only ask that you be considerate of your neighbors, as our state-of-the-art sound system is delivering high-quality audio, and people are listening!

Questions about lost and found items should be directed to the Welcome Center (open 9am-5pm & later during events). 312.742.1168

The entire NASCAR race course is to the south of Millennium Park. That said, the Festival is operating under a modified schedule this year in order to preserve a quality concert experience at each of our events.
