Jazzin' at the Shedd
12:00 AM           
Jazz. Cocktails. The lake. Fireworks. And 32,000 animals. That's Jazzin' at the Shedd! Jazzin' is the perfect way to celebrate summer! Take in live music while you enjoy the best views of Chicago, fireworks and after-hours access to our aquatic residents. Tonight's musical entertainment will be provided by Detour JazFunk, Peter Oprisko Jazz Trio, William Boris Duo and Reginald T. McCants. Don't forget to join us for a Jazzin' Science Pub at 7 p.m. in Phelps Auditorium. Meet Shedd research biologist and instructor Karen Murchie and learn about her work in an informal setting where you can relax, enjoy a beverage and ask questions. When you think of animal migrations, do birds come to mind? In the Great Lakes, we have awe-inspiring spring migratory fishes: suckers. Karen is conducting a multiyear study with conservation partners in Wisconsin and an army of citizen scientists to track the timing of sucker migrations along Lakes Michigan and Superior. Her data will be used to understand the local impacts of global climate change. Want even more Jazzin' fun? Enjoy an evening cruise and get a front-row view of the Navy Pier fireworks display. Adults 21+ can join us for a Shoreline Cruise! See all the details in the tickets link above! Jazzin' at the Shedd is sponsored by Chase.
