Family friendly. Something for everyone.

We will be partnering with Baker Demonstration School, which will provide fun child activities before and during the concert, including an instrument petting zoo.

Bring a picnic to enjoy and your own chairs or you can sit on the semi-circular stone and grass seats.

This project is partially supported by a grant from the Evanston Arts Council, a city agency supported by the City of Evanston, and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
