Joliet museum’s rooftop concert season begins in May

The Summer Outdoor Rooftop Concert Series at the Joliet Area Historical Museum opens May 17.

The museum will host 11 concerts through Sept. 26. The series features live bands twice a month.

The series features a variety of music genres, including rock, indie, blues, Americana and pop, according to a release from the museum.

“There is general seating for all guests, and reserved tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis,” according to the release.

Ticket prices start at $12.

The museum advises registering for tickets online because many shows sell out.

The concerts include a beverage bar, snack vendor and access to museum galleries and exhibits for all paying guests, according to the release.

Shows will be moved to museum auditorium in case of inclement weather.

Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. Shows will start at 7 p.m.
