The Village of Forest Park has kicked off its annual Groovin’ in the Grove, a free concert series at the Forest Park Picnic Grove that began in 2005.
The second of three Groovin’ in the Grove concerts took place July 16. Dozens showed up to listen to Chicago Catz, an R&B-pop band that has played in the Chicagoland area for more than 30 years.
From 7 to 10 p.m., locals brought chairs, food and drinks and sat outside as the sun set and the stars came out while vocalists and musicians played into the evening. Concessions were also available for purchase.
This year’s Groovin’ in the Grove kicked off June 18 with Lakeside Revival, a classic rock and R&B band that plays throughout Chicago. On Aug. 20, this year’s final performance will be by R&B band, R-Gang.
Groovin’ in the Grove concerts take place at Forest Park Picnic Grove, 7824 Madison St. For more info about the event, call (708) 771-7737.
