Running from June 13 to September 1, 2025, the program features over 30 live performances spanning jazz, Latin, indie-pop, and flamenco genres. Musicians perform against the backdrop of the billion-year-old Yorkville Rock, creating an atmospheric setting where geological history meets contemporary culture. The series operates on a dual schedule designed to accommodate different audiences and lifestyles. Friday performances run from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm, targeting lunch-break crowds and urban professionals, while weekend and holiday shows extend from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm for leisurely afternoon entertainment.
