Celebrate a summer of reading with an '80s music concert with The Jolly Ringwalds and a giant bubble show! This event is open to adults, teens, and families. Bring a lawn chair and stay the afternoon!
Celebrate our summer of reading with live entertainment and games on our lawn! We'll have free shaved ice for all from the Kona Ice truck from 1:30-3:30pm and The Jolly Ringwalds will take the stage at 2:30pm. Learn about our Summer Reading Clubs for all ages and play games both on the lawn and in the Youth Program Room.
The Jolly Ringwalds are a neon carousel of '80s celebration. Their cornucopia of the best dance, rock, and new wave of the decade will keep you singing and dancing along to your favorite '80s tunes & will also re-introduce you to some of the songs you forgot you loved. With multiple singers, they provide a fun, interactive experience for all age groups & boast some of the Chicago’s most in demand performers.
In case of rain, please join us in the Auditorium for the concert and the Kona Ice truck will be outside.
