Upcoming Summer is an entertaining teen rom com with plenty of chemistry that brings its audience back for more. While its plot may sound cliched, this film makes the cliche work by emphasizing how there's more than meets the eye with any given person - their personality comes into play here as well!
Millennium Park hosts many events throughout the year, many of which are free and open to the public; others require purchasing tickets or using specific spaces (Chase Promenade South, McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink and Jay Pritzker Pavilion) of the park.
The Summer Film Series runs Tuesday evenings between July 11 and August 29 at Jay Pritzker Pavilion and shows films on a 40-foot LED screen, providing guests with seating in either pavilion or lounge chairs to spread out on Great Lawn.
This year's movies range from stage adaptations from local theater companies and some of this year's blockbusters - such as two superhero flicks and one foreign film - to kid-friendly flicks and kid-oriented features. Shows begin at dusk; various food trucks and activities will be available prior to each showing; this event can get busy!
Millennium Park offers plenty of activities this summer, from concerts to workouts and even their Film Series, there's something fun happening for all to enjoy.
Take your pick between sitting at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion or spreading out on the Great Lawn to watch an evening under the stars with free movies in Millennium Park. Food and drinks are permitted so feel free to pack a picnic or buy from one of the vendors on site.
This summer's lineup of crowd-pleasing movies includes stage adaptations (The Music Man, Moonlight and 10 Things I Hate About You), superhero films and family favorites. Plus, in honor of 2022 being declared The Year of Chicago Dance you can catch films inspired by dance - making this experience a must for both Chicagoans and visitors.
