Join Friends of the Chicago River, Planet Chambo, and Solidarity Studios for an evening celebrating the sounds of the Chicago-Calumet River at the McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum. Experience how sound and music can deepen our connection to nature through a plant listening session, hands-on beatmaking with river sounds, and a showcase of the winning entries from the Sounds of the Chicago-Calumet River Remix Competition.

Enjoy this free, family-friendly evening on the Chicago Riverwalk with live music, interactive river activities, and community. The Bridgehouse Museum will remain open throughout the event, and the first 25 guests (21+) will receive a complimentary drink.
