Jazzin at the Shedd

Live jazz lives at Shedd every Wednesday night this summer! Jazzin’ at the Shedd is back with a festival-worthy lineup of three of Chicago’s top jazz ensembles each week. As the sun goes down and the music heats up, relax with a drink on our breezy terrace.

June 12th is a free day for Illinois Residents.

Jazzin’ is also a great time to discover the unbelievable that lives here! Say hi to a sea otter, whose furry cuteness is fueled by a daily seafood diet that equals 25 percent of her weight! Wonder how the already Technicolor mantis shrimp would look if you could also see ultraviolet light, like it can. And touch the stars—sea stars, that is, whose five-part body plan is unique among all other groups in the animal kingdom. It’s all at Shedd Aquarium, where great music, the city skyline, fireworks and animals you have to see to believe come together.
