Wintrust Bearfoot in the Park Concerts - Yacht Rock-ettes

Grab your people, bring a blanket or a few chairs, and take a break from the rush as you settle into a laid-back evening of live music in the park. Each week brings a different Chicago band—plenty to sing along to, dance to, or just enjoy as the breeze rolls through. It’s simple: good music, open air, and a great way to spend a summer night.

Note: In case of rain/inclement weather, we’re moving the party indoors to Park Center. Sign up for the Rainout Hotline Service to stay in the loop.

Yacht Rock-ettes

The Yacht Rock-ettes bring smooth 70s and 80s yacht rock to life with rich vocals and stellar musicianship. Covering artists like Hall & Oates, Toto, and Christopher Cross, they deliver a fun, nostalgic night of soft rock favorites.
