North Shore Jazz & Classical Music Festival (Fun Fest)

MYAC’s North Shore Jazz and Classical Music Festival, also known as “Fun Fest,” is a free annual community event with live music, games, food, and fun! This all-day event features performances by jazz combos and big bands, orchestras, choral groups, and chamber music groups at our home in Fort Sheridan.

This event is open to the public and perfect for music aficionados of all ages!

As the region’s largest youth music ensemble program, Midwest Young Artists Conservatory (MYAC) offers unparalleled orchestral, chamber, jazz, and choral music education of the highest quality. Each year, nearly 1,000 students of all ages and abilities from 84 communities across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana come together to study and rehearse at our campus in Highwood, Illinois. Our mission is to build a home with the power of music, enriching the lives of our students and their communities.
