Naper Settlement has released its line-up for the 2021 Naper Nights Community Concert Series, featuring tributes to some of the greatest musicians in rock, soul, and pop music from the 1960s to today. The Series will include six nights of music and food, beer and wine on Friday and Saturday nights on July 16-17, August 13-14, and September 17-18 from 5-10 p.m.
“It has always been a pleasure to welcome our community to the grounds for Naper Nights concerts, but this year is especially meaningful,” said Rena Tamayo-Calabrese, president and CEO at Naper Settlement. “We can’t wait to see the smiling faces, the children running around, the lawn chairs spread out like a carpet at the foot of the Mansion, and people singing along to their favorite songs. Naper Nights is not only a celebration of some of the most influential musicians and bands in history from the past and present but also a way to gather our neighbors and create strong, resilient communities. We can’t wait to have you join us!”
