mojosmomWe lucked out yesterday. I had plans to go to the Pritzker Pavilion for a concert, and was worrying all day about the predicted rain. But despite being slightly overcast in the late afternoon, the skies did clear, and it was a gorgeous day and night. The concert, part of the Music Without Borders series, was Orchestra Baobab [warning: autoplay music], a Senegalese group, that was absolutely fantastic. There was a huge crowd, and much dancing on the lawn.
In fact, there were three free concerts in that area yesterday evening: Orchestra Baobab, the Grant Park Symphony (playing indoors at the Harris Theatre), and Stevie Wonder at the Taste of Chicago. Something for everyone!
I decided to walk up to Wacker to catch the bus (it's the start of the route so a better chance to get a seat), and caught the tail end of the Navy Pier fireworks!
I will be headed out shortly for Waukegan, to the parade and picnic. Yes, I found sweet corn! Yay! Rain is predicted for today, as well, so I'm hoping that rain heads in a different direction, as yesterday's did.
