One of the exceptionally great things Chicago has to offer along the waterfront is Millennium Park. This 25 acre park along with the much larger and adjoining Grant Park is set between Michigan Avenue and the lakefront. Millennium Park has a huge children's play area, climbing walls, miniature golf and the Jay Pritzker Pavilion which is a massive outdoor theater. Throughout the summer there are multiday events such as the Jazzfest, Bluesfest and gospel music festival. They also have movies, dance performances and concerts on a regular basis. During the month of July there was some type of "event" 22 evenings and the really great thing about them is that they were all free! On Thursday night we listened to a really nice "Progressive Folk" (sounds like an oxymoron to me) group called Honeysuckle and a rock band called the Drive By Truckers. Friday night we were back, this time enjoying the Grant Park Orchestra & Chorus along with two featured vocalists, Laura Osnes and Santino Fontana. What we quickly learned about the vocalists were that they both had to their credit leading roles in various Broadway productions. I didn't see the movie but Santino Fontana played the "Evil Prince" in the movie Frozen.

Before heading out Saturday afternoon we enjoyed one final walk along the lakefront. It was a great time to reflect on everything we had done during our visit to this great city.
Twelve days sure passes quickly in Chicago!
