Know Before You Go: BoDeans To Play Free Show For Harmony Square Grand Opening

TINLEY PARK, IL — Tinley Park officials will unveil the Village's $38 million project Harmony Square plaza—and they're starting with a bang.

Harmony Square will officially open to the public during a grand opening ceremony and concert from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, July 18 at the new plaza, 6700 North St.

Activities will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, speeches by elected officials, special deals on Village merchandise for residents, and a concert by rock band The BoDeans. Food and beverages will be available from Chick-Fil-A, Durbin's, Local One, Nothing Bundt Cake, Open Bottle, The Scoop, and Village Pizza.

The gates will open at 5:30 p.m. Expect bag checks and magnetometers at all entrances, which may result in slight delays. Visitors can bring small coolers and chairs. Rock band the BoDeans will take the stage at 7 for a free show.

“Harmony Square has been a key component of our vision for a first-class downtown for many years now, and it’s exciting to be here as it transitions from a dream to reality,” Mayor Michael Glotz said previously. “This is something that’s not just huge for Tinley Park—it’s a big win for the entire region. Harmony Square will be a draw, with economic benefits that will extend well beyond our borders.”

Pack the plaza all weekend, with the two-day Block Party July 19–20 returning in its new Harmony Square home. Bands are set for two stages. Food and drink vendors are lined up with plenty of choices.
