AAC's Chicago Top 10 List: No. 1 - Millennium Park


In anticipation of the upcoming National Conference on Volunteering and Service, hosted in Chicago from June 18 - 20,  AmeriCorps Alums Chicago provides our own take on the top 10 things to check out while in the Second City. Visit our blog or Facebook page each of the 10 days leading up to the conference to find great things to do to experience Chicago after or between conference sessions!
  1. Millennium Park - At the heart of the city, Millennium Park provides a green and cultural oasis to city residents and visitors alike. Discover a state-of-the-art collection of architecture, landscape design and art that provide the backdrop for hundreds of free cultural programs including concerts, exhibitions, tours, and family activities. Downtown Sound, the highly anticipated free Monday night concert series, features musicians throughout the summer. Check out indie rocker groups Cloud Cult and Judson Claiborne on Monday, June 18.
Take the #3 bus from McCormick Place up Michigan avenue. Get off when you see the park on your right.
