Chicago Jazz Fest -Stop by my Boat

I've been coming to the Jazz Fest for 43 years! My family will be picnicking on the lawn on Saturday.

We are easier to find, because we sit in an inflatable raft!

Stop by and say Hi, and stay as long as you like!

We will be on the lawn just beyond the sidewalk behind the chair seating area, to the right. Exact spot depends on how crowded it is.

I won't be leading a group, per se, with a set meeting time. It's more like an open house to my "second back yard". I would love your company!

Bring your own picnic food, or buy food there. They sell drinks, and do check bags for outside alcohol.
We can make room on our blanket for a few drop-ins, but bring your own blanket if you want stay all evening.

for Early Birds, main stage performances starts at 3:45, but I don't know if I'll make the first set. The pavilions start music at noon.
