The Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) announces the return of several beloved free traditions to Millennium Park. Chicago will come alive once again with the rhythm and spirit of summer as the city announces its highly anticipated Summer Music Series, running from June 26 through August 7. Kicking off the series, retro-soul sensations Thee Sacred Souls will headline a soulful evening alongside Chicago’s own Renaldo Domino and The Heavy Sounds and DJ Nosha Luv. Pre-shows for each concert begin at 5:30 p.m.; concerts start at 6:30 p.m. Additionally, the Chicago Film Office at DCASE is proud to announce the return of the Millennium Park Summer Film Series, presented by Pluto TV, running Tuesdays from July 1 through August 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. This year’s lineup celebrates anniversaries and iconic storytelling with a slate that includes The Sandlot, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Love & Basketball (25th anniversary), My Best Friend’s Wedding (a Chicago classic), and Wicked. The popular Millennium Park Summer Workouts will return most Saturdays from May 17 through August 30, offering free, 45-minute group fitness classes from 8 to 11:45 a.m. at Wrigley Square and the Great Lawn, supported by the McDonald’s Active Lifestyles Endowment.
