Writer of Vocalo's The Goods newsletter Morgan Ciocca breaks down the September 21 email, featuring almost entirely free events like the 17th annual Hyde Park Jazz Festival on September 23 and 24, which features artists including Meagan McNeal, Ben LaMar Gay, Junius Paul and more. This weekend is also Goose Island’s 312 Block Party, the Beverly Art Walk and St. Al’s Oktoberfest, plus a “Time Capsule” event celebrating early ‘90s Chicago featuring Vocalo’s own Jesse De La Peña. Some not-free things happening this weekend are also the Reeling Film Festival, which kicks off September 21, and Durand Jones’s show at Bottom Lounge.
