Three popular free outdoor concert series will kick off this weekend in Chicago's Logan Square and Avondale areas.

Moods + Foods, celebrating its 10th anniversary, will take place every Thursday at Solidarity Triangle, inviting attendees to enjoy performances alongside meals from local restaurants. Kilbourn Park's concert series, organized by the volunteer-run Kilbourn Park Advisory Council, will feature local artists every Friday until July 25.

The events aim to foster a vibrant local culture and support the arts, with varied genres represented across all series. Additionally, new food options will be available at Kilbourn Park, responding to community requests.
