Several music and cultural festivals are kicking off this summer across the Midwest, celebrating community, art, and local culture. The Moose Jaw Health Foundation marks the 30th anniversary of its 'Concerts in the Park' series, offering free weekly live music to support local healthcare improvements, including a modernization of an MRI scanner. In Chicago, the Grant Park Music Festival opened with a performance of Gershwin's 'Rhapsody in Blue' at Millennium Park, featuring a diverse summer schedule of classical and contemporary concerts led by its new artistic director. The 24th annual Jackson Blues Fest in Michigan returns with three days of blues performances and community events, welcoming attendees with a modest entry fee. Additionally, Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo is hosting its popular Craft Brews and Summer Wine Fest events, combining live music, tastings, and garden tours to create vibrant after-hours experiences. These events highlight a robust tradition of summer cultural programming aimed at bringing people together through music and local engagement.
