Run Forrest Run to headline second 'Party by the Pond' concert at Chicago Premium Outlets

After the wildly successful American English performance in June, Chicago Premium Outlets is gearing up for the second "Party by the Pond" summer concert.

On Friday, July 20, Run Forrest Fun, Chicago's ultimate '90s party band, will headline the free public concert. From 5 to 8 p.m., guests are invited out to the center's feature pond to enjoy the best pop, punk and upbeat hits from the 1990s. Also slated to appear this summer are the '80s-inspired standouts, 16 Candles, on Friday, Aug. 17.

Each of Chicago Premium Outlets' family-friendly Friday night "Party by the Pond" concerts includes kid-centric activities on and around the adjacent play area, along with favorite food truck fare from local purveyors.

On deck for the July 20 concert are Best Truckin' BBQ (beef brisket, pulled pork), Spicy Mexican Grill (tacos, quesadillas), CheSa's Gluten Tootin Free (gluten-free salad, rice and pasta bowls) and La Michoacana (Mexican ice cream).

In addition to a fun-filled evening, the concert series also provides a great opportunity to give back. In preparation for the back-to-school season, United Way will be conducting a school supply drive, collecting donations for local students in need. Concertgoers can stop by the United Way table to drop off contributions and to learn more about how to get involved in helping to build a stronger, more vibrant community.
