CHICAGO BLUES FESTIVAL
Details,
​
Let's meet downtown kick back and enjoy the Blues Festival.
What a way to start the summer, GREAT music and relaxing
with friends in Millenium Park!
THIS IS A FREE EVENT!
If I can get down there in the afternoon, I will, but I plan to be there
for the evening at Pritzker Pavillion and of course hear Buddy Guy play.
Bring your lawn chairs, towels and of course food and alcohol is allowed
with some restrictions. Please see the Millenium Park website for more details.
I plan to find a spot on the grass in the center more or less and will save spots for anyone who RSVPs to this event. For those who I don't already have your number, I will message you with mine on the day of the event.
If it will help locate me, I have long red hair in a ponytail.
And I'll be wearing one of our dark orange PINE POINT baseball caps.
