Palatine Park District Continues Free Concert Series In August

Palatine Park District continues the free outdoor concert series in August with the final five concert events of the summer. All performances are free, so pack a picnic, pull up a lawn chair, and enjoy your summer music experience. The complete summer package includes Main Stage Concerts at the Fred P. Hall Amphitheater on Wednesdays and Fridays, Towne Square Spotlights on Thursdays, and Friday Family Picnic Concerts at Towne Square on Fridays. For a complete list of summer events, visit palatineparks.org or look for our Sounds of Summer program guide at Birchwood Recreation Center, Community Center, or Falcon Park Recreation Center. Concert programs will also be available at each concert throughout the summer. The Sounds of Summer Concert Series lineup features many talented groups, including these upcoming performers!

August 7 • 8:00pm – Allegro Community Chorus (Fred P. Hall Amphitheatre, 256 E. Palatine Road, Palatine)

Palatine Park District’s Allegro Community Chorus, under the artistic direction of Kevin Kelly, presents its annual Summer performance. Come see this fast-growing chorus of talented community members blend their voices and fill the band shell with choral arrangements of the season.

August 9 • 12:00pm – Jodi Koplin’s JiggleJam (Towne Square, 150 W. Palatine Road, Palatine)

Get ready to wiggle, jiggle, and giggle! Jodi’s engaging style and catchy tunes spark imagination and promote self-esteem while silliness abounds. Armed with her guitar and contagious energy, puppets, shakers and more, Jodi will keep the audience jammin’ along.

August 9 • 8:00pm – American English (Fred P. Hall Amphitheatre, 256 E. Palatine Road, Palatine)

Relive the days of the Beatles! Using instruments identical to those used by the legendary group, this Palatine favorite has an uncanny ability to reproduce the vocal style and harmonies of the Beatles. Not only will they bring back fond memories for those who were there, but they bring to life the sounds for those who never had a chance to see the Fab Four live.

In the event of inclement weather, performances will be canceled.
