Never been to our Entertainment series?

Here’s what it’s all about!

The complete summer includes Main Stage Concerts on Friday nights, Family Picnic Series on Tuesdays at noon, Palatine Concert Band Shows, and Outdoor Movie Nights – all at the Fred P. Hall Amphitheater! Also featured is the Thursday Night Acoustic Series at Towne Square. All performances are free, so pack a picnic, pull up a lawn chair, and enjoy your summer music experience!

In the event of inclement weather, performances will be canceled. Subscribe to ‘Sounds of Summer Concerts’ notifications using the our scheduling / weather platform or call the concert weather hotline at 224-219-0007 ext.16 for the latest updates.

Concessions will be available for purchase at the Family Aquatic Center. Guests may also pack and bring their own food and beverages. Guests are responsible for their own trash. Additional trash containers will be located around the amphitheater.

Restrooms available for use.

Mark your calendars for our first ever community-wide talent search!

We are hosting an evening of talent this summer on Wednesday, July 8th at Cutting Hall Performing Arts Center. Come out to see the many talents of the Palatine Community! A panel of local judges will vote for the top talent of the town with your help!
