Festivities begin at 6:30 a.m. (as in, early morning).

Featuring Chicago’s Fulcrum Point Ensemble, an array of international guests, the Chicago Children’s Choir and indie rockers Zamin, it also includes an interactive portion called “ring a gong for peace” by which concertgoers can participate via 52 gongs placed around the pavilion.

Admission is free.
