Millenium Park Concerts

I went to Millenium Park last night for my first concert of the season. Millenium Park has a lot to offer to Chicago residents and visitors and most, if not all, of it is free. They have a free concert every day from noon to 1 pm. Also, many nights after work there are concerts as well as on the weekends. Last night we headed out after work, picked up sandwiches and a bottle of wine from Pastoral, and were off to the park. Best part: you can bring in booze. I can't think of a better way to spend a summer evening - wine, food, friends, and beautiful weather. Concerts range from classical to ethnic to rock. Here is the concert list for the summer: http://www.millenniumpark.org/parkevents/allmusic.aspx

They also offer free workouts on Saturday mornings and free Chicago greeter tours on a daily basis. Plus currently there are two temporary architectural pavillions designed by Zaha Hadid and Ben van Berkel that are up for the next couple of months.
