Music On The Veranda

Veranda parties start Memorial Day Weekend. Outdoor dining mixed with great music and an amazing view of the scenic Illinois River Valley is a combination you must try this summer! See you there – music kicks off at 8 pm and runs until 11 pm. Event open to the public. 

What better way to wind down after a long work week than by relaxing on our Veranda with some music, a cocktail or two and a gorgeous view on a beautiful summer night? Music starts at 8pm and lasts until 11, but we suggest getting here early to grab a table and experience the breathtaking sunset from the Veranda! Weather permitting, Veranda Parties kick off Memorial Day Weekend and continue through Labor Day.

Voices on the Veranda returns for the third year! The Aquarium is hosting a summer concert series on its rooftop Veranda with solo singer/songwriters, jazz and rock bands, and other musical acts showcasing their talents. Sit back and relax with food and drinks (available for purchase), and enjoy the view of Rainbow Harbor at sunset.
