Jim Brickman brings a signature piano sound and stage presence that helped broaden the audience for instrumental music, establishing him as a leading figure in modern American music. Over more than three decades, he has become a familiar name in contemporary music, blending pop and classical influences while earning wide recognition and a devoted following. His Hits Live tour presents timeless melodies alongside heartfelt lyrics, with a set that features cherished favorites such as "Valentine," "The Gift," and "Love of My Life," among others.

Celebrate the Full Moon, also known as the Harvest Moon, with a moderate pace social night ride covering 7 to 9 miles through the core neighborhoods of Elgin. If your bike needs air or small adjustments, arrive early, as equipment for minor repairs and inflation will be available. Illinois law requires a clear front light and a red rear reflector or red light for night riding, so make sure you are easy to see on the street. Participants who have not completed the 2026 annual ride waiver are asked to do so in advance.

Playa becomes a suburban hub for house music with a thoughtfully curated experience that values identity, purpose, and the roots of the culture. Guided by curator and director Marvin Coronel, the night channels authentic energy shaped by Chicago’s legacy, moving from soulful grooves to deep, afro, tech, funky, and classic styles. The vision stays clear and consistent, free of mixed themes, and centered entirely on house music.
