You were all Tearin’ Up My Heart... and the dance floor! 🎶

What a night! A huge thank you to everyone who came out for Boy Band Tribute Night! Aaron Kowalski got the night started before the Boy Band Tribute took the stage and had the whole park singing and dancing along to all the hits!

We even got a little rain shower, but that didn’t stop the party! Shout out to everyone who kept dancing through it and made the most of the night ☔

And what better way to end the evening than at the Third Street Star Bridge!

Next week, we’re switching things up! Join us Wednesday, September 2nd, for the Sweet Home Chicago Band (Blues Brothers Tribute), benefiting Brian’s House. We’ll see you in the park!
