Uptown Funk Is Friday Night
Uptown Funk is a free community concert presented in partnership with Blue Island Historical Society & the Blue Island Arts Alliance. Although we've had to move this fun, family-friendly concert and community celebration indoors (the Patio at Restaurante Tenochtitlan next to the park, 12947 Western Ave.),you'll still be able to explore Blue Island’s Uptown and beyond. Here are some ways to have the most FUN-k this Friday – tell us, what’s your perfect Friday night in Blue Island?
