The DNA will also host its Summer Sculpture Program Launch Event in concert with the car show from 10 a.m. to noon.
Those attending can visit the DNA’s table on the northwest corner of Webster Street and Jackson Avenue to pick up a map for the summer sculptures. This year’s theme is “Flying into Summer,” as 19 brightly colored dragonfly benches are scattered around downtown Naperville.
