Music in the Park
Date: June 29, 2019
Time: 12:30 PM - 2:30 PM
Event Description
If you’re looking to explore new cities to catch upcoming artists,
Wheaton might be next on your list. Two local non-profit
organizations, DuCAP (DuPage County Area Project) and Mercy
Housing are teaming up to provide the community with an
intimate summer kick-off event. WGN Radio executive producer
and Sound Sessions host, Michael Heidemann is the headlining
talent for the premiere launch of “Music in the Park” on Saturday,
June 29 from 12:30-2:30 p.m.
DuCAP’s mission is to provide positive experiences for teens and
their immediate families, while teaching the community’s youth
the resources needed to better themselves and the community
they live in. Heidemann is a veteran supporter of many charitable
organizations in and around the Chicago suburbs, so headlining
this event was a natural fit. Other local artists and residents will
be performing traditional songs from a variety of cultures in
addition to acoustic and upbeat tunes. “We [Mercy Housing and
DuCAP] wanted to bring the excitement of a live music fest to the
suburbs for those that typically don’t have opportunities to
attend. Music is a really powerful way to connect people,”
Community Events Developer, Jess Raines says. This event is
free and open to the public, but RSVP is required by 6/25 to
DeLena.Byanski@mercyhousing.org.
Heidemann’s newest project is “Brews and Bands,” a show that
features Chicago icons as they dive into their musical background
and favorite venues. Follow him on Instagram and Twitter
