When the doors swing free on opening night, prepare for a convergence of contagious energy, fabulously funky sounds, and widespread glee. This is the night to slip on your best dancing shoes, because the main event, Grupo Fantasma, will serve up an unclassifiable orchestral fusion of global music with funk roots and infectious Latin rhythms that simply dares you to rush the dance floor. The Village Voice warns that these musicians will “knock you down with their grooves.” But not to worry—as the night jams on, hit the refueling stations inside the tented amphitheatre, where you can refresh in the night air and choose your favorite savory or sweet treat from a bevy of local vendors. Mark your calendar now to start the season off right with a night that celebrates the full spectrum of what Krannert Center and the community have to offer.

Doors open at 5:30pm
