Free Concerts in the Chicago Southland in Summer 2022

I’m excited to once again share my annual Southland Chicago Free Summer Concerts Calendar!
The summer is approaching and one of our favorite summer activities is enjoying outdoor summer concerts.
This year, we want to enjoy even more! And we want you to enjoy them too!
I have compiled a calendar of free outdoor summer concerts around the Chicago Southland and nearby suburbs. The schedule includes band names, dates, times (where available), locations and links to more information.

Maybe you’ll even see us there!
