Enjoy the soothing strains of classical compositions as well as contemporary and Broadway tunes at the annual Grant Park Music Festival. This free summer concert series kicks off on June 11, 2025, and runs through August 16, 2025.
Sit back in the beauty of the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park and absorb free shows throughout the week from 6:30-8:00 pm. This year’s exciting line-up includes the Magic of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Ravel’s Bolero, Stravinsky’s Firebird and Mozart’s Paris Symphony. Check out the 2025 schedule here.
Free seating is available on the Great Lawn and in the Seating Bowl but there is also an option for One Night Passes for paid reserved seating close to the stage.
The festival will also host performances in neighborhood parks across the city for Night Out in the Parks concerts. Look over all the offerings of the neighborhood park schedule here.
