Free Summer Concert Series Returns June 9 In Glenview

GLENVIEW, IL — Summer concerts are back. The Glenview Park District announced its free concert series lineup Tuesday and with Illinois nearing full reopening, it is expected to bring out plenty of local residents to the Jackman Park Gazebo.

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of $10,000 from the Kiwanis Club of Glenview-Northbrook, the concert series will kick off on June 9 with a show by Next Week. Attendance will be limited to 150 residents for the first two concerts based on Bridge Phase guidance.

Residents can register for free on the Glenview Park District website or call (847)-724-5670 to reserve a spot. If Illinois and Cook County move to Phase 5, Glenview Park District staff will re-evaluate capacity limits and reservations for future concerts based on updated guidance.

"We're really excited to welcome back Chicago’s live music again this summer,” said Ann Marie Shipstad, manager of recreation programs, in a news release, “With two Little Bearfoot Concerts and seven Jackman Park shows, all families will be able to find a concert to enjoy!”
