Sunday 9/22/24

Sundays start early, and we had a full day pre-riding the first half of the Perimeter Ride yesterday, so here’s an early edition that includes most all of the afternoon options, soon to be followed by the usual more complete edition.

There are more great festivals and other music event opportunities to enjoy in and around Chicago today and tonight… read on for the details, and get out to enjoy one or more if you can… Thanks for reading, subscribing to, sponsoring, and especially sharing Jerome’s Event List!
