Watch the sunset, and unwind with live music on the Esplanade. You are encouraged to bring your own chairs, as the Garden has a limited supply. Picnicking is welcome during evening concerts, or stop by one of our dining locations to grab a bite and some drinks. A musical tribute to the Rat-Pack and Swing era, Bopology blends their 50s and 60s style for park districts whose residents consist mostly of families and seniors. As a powerhouse entertainment package rather than a crooner with musicians, they bring to your event an alternative to rock 'n’ roll without being boring or stodgy. For example, to keep kids happy, they distribute free stickers as “The Flintstones Theme” is played and songs like “Sing, Sing, Sing,” “In the Mood,” and “Jump, Jive and Wail” keep the adults entertained. With significant name-recognition as a top Chicago Swing Band, your audience will make a special point to attend the show.
