EVERGREEN PARK, IL — South Side native Rich Daniels brings his renowned, 32-piece City Lights Orchestra end-of-summer concert and fireworks on Sept. 5, which happens to be Labor Day. The event is hosted by the Evergreen Park Recreation Department.

City Lights Orchestra plays classic standards from George Gershwin and Woody Herman, Glen Miller and Benny Goodman, as well as tunes from Hollywood film scores and Broadway shows.
