Wednesday Night Music continues.

Music on the Rock is a free music event on select summer Wednesdays on the banks of the Rock River at Burpee Museum of Natural History. The outdoor theater provides a spectacular location for relaxing and enjoying food and drink with friends and family. Join us from 5:30pm to 8:30pm for a rockin' good time!

Rain location includes indoor option on Burpee's campus.
