The Naper Nights Concert Series returns to Naper Settlement in 2026 with six nights of epic tribute performances featuring the hits of Taylor Swift, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen, The Doobie Brothers, Toby Keith and more.
Spanning across Naper Settlement’s 13-acre outdoor campus, the museum’s historic buildings and gardens create a unique backdrop for visitors to experience some of the nation’s most recognized tribute performances while enjoying dozens of local restaurants, food trucks, businesses, and a children’s area with FREE painting from Pinot’s Palette Naperville, games by Chasers in Naperville and more.
The annual concert series has grown into a Naperville summertime tradition with nearly seventeen thousand attendees from every age group experiencing it each year.
“Whether a tribute to Sly and the Family Stone, Ozzy Osbourne, or a K-Pop dance party, each concert is meant to foster intergenerational connections through music and community,” said Adison Glick, Special Events Senior Team Leader. “We want grandparents, parents and kids to experience each concert together and leave with an appreciation of how music may have changed over time, but the energy, excitement and connection it provides is timeless.”
