Our Events in the Plaza outdoor concerts will be held Tuesdays, 7:30 pm, June 14 through August 9 (no concert on July 5) at Independence Grove Forest Preserve. There are no rain dates.
Kick off our summer concert series with one of the best Motown, R&B, funk and soul bands in the Chicago area. Their set list includes music by The Temptations, Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke, Elvis, Prince and more. This ‘gang’ of musicians is guaranteed to make Millennia Plaza a rockin’, movin’, soulful experience.
