Join us for the First Friday Music Series, an evening of live music that will take place on Sheridan Rd. between Devon and Pratt. Enjoy performances on Sister Jean Plaza by the Loyola Red Line station and outdoor patios at Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers, Mama’s African Cuisine, Khmai, The 400 Theater, Great Wall, Arepa Pa’ Los Pana and Giordano’s.

Mark your calendars for May 1, June 5, and September 4 and prepare for a musical journey from Bossa Nova to Jazz and everything in between.

Plan for a drink or dinner at one of our participating restaurant patios, or swing by Sister Jean plaza for additional music plus pop-up dance performances, giant crossword puzzles, and refreshments available while supplies last. Don’t miss out on these unforgettable nights of music, community, and fun at the First Friday Music Series on Sheridan Road.
