Carillon concerts return tonight
Tonight will mark the return of the Tuesday night Naperville Millennium Carillon summer concerts at Moser Tower.
The Carillon has been closed since spring of 2021 due to construction work on Moser Tower. But this evening the public is invited to gather on Rotary Hill at 443 Aurora Avenue for the free concerts, which will continue on Tuesdays each week through August 15. The tower itself is still closed for tours, but will reopen later this summer.
Naperville’s city carillonneur Tim Sleep will kick off the summer series tonight. NCTV17 will be there on Facebook LIVE for the start. The full calendar of summer performances and more on the Carillon can be found on the Naperville Park District’s website.
