Wheeling

The Heritage Park Performance Pavilion is a regional destination for outdoor concerts, movies, and special events. The 2,400-square-foot structure comes with a state-of-the-art sound system, and audiences sit on sloped, stadium-like lawn seating overlooking a lake. Summer programming draws area bands, with families bringing blankets and lawn chairs. The Park District's free Sounds of Summer Sunday concert series is a regular draw at the pavilion. On the restaurant side, Ethno Restaurant on East Lake Cook Road is a fusion spot featuring Central Asian and Eastern European cuisines, with live music and a dance floor on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 PM to midnight. Sunday nights also carry live music from 8 PM to midnight. The music on those nights enhances the ambiance without being overly loud, though the dance floor itself is on the smaller side.
