Two years ago, things were different. Every Tuesday evening the hill overlooking the Humboldt Park bandshell would be packed with folks on blankets and chairs or dancing to live music. While things are currently on pause, here is a reminder of Chill on the Hill’s annual “Kids & Family Night” performances. This trio of young bands, brimming with energy, will serve as a reminder until we get back to our regularly scheduled programming.
