Crowd anticipated for American English concert

With American English, a popular Beatles tribute band, performing at Lombard's final 2016 Cruise Night and Summer Concert Series for the year, the village is anticipating a large crowed and moving for the stage for the event.

To accommodate those attending the concert from 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27, the concert stage will be set up just west of the intersection of Main Street and St. Charles Road. A detour on St. Charles will direct traffic north one block to Grove Street.

South Park Avenue between St. Charles and Michael McGuire Drive will remain a pedestrian-only location, and will feature a collection of Kids' Corner sponsors, popcorn sales from Lombard Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association, and games, snacks and information about downtown Lombard provided by Lombard Town Centre.

Cruise Nights are family-friendly and alcohol-free. Concert goers are encouraged to patronize downtown Lombard's local dining establishments to dine and consume alcohol on their premises.

Attendees may arrive beginning at 4 p.m. Chairs are allowed. Portable bathrooms will be available for concert goers on South Park Avenue. Attendees are reminded that restrooms in businesses are for customers.

Attendees are encouraged to park in the commuter parking spots at Hammerschmidt lot on Parkside Avenue, just east of the intersection of Main Street and St. Charles, south of the train tracks. Attendees parking on Parkside Avenue may use the Metra underpass tunnel for easy access to the concert venue area.

The concert is subject to weather conditions and there is not an alternative location or rain date. Any updates pertaining to the concert will be made on the Village of Lombard's Facebook pages at facebook.com/villageoflombard and facebook.com/lombardcruisenights, and on Twitter at twitter.com/lilacvillage.
