 The Visitor Center and Moser Tower will be closed during these concerts, so there are no indoor warming areas. We recommend you bring lawnchairs, blankets, and dress warmly.
The carillon will be played by local carilloneurs, including Tim Sleep, the newly appointed City Carilloneur. Congratulations Tim! And to all our carillon listeners: Enjoy!

The Third Gift
Moser Tower and Millennium Carillon was begun in 1998 as a labor of love by a small group of Naperville families, and in a short time the vision spread to many, who donated the funds to make the vision a reality.
In the tradition of Centennial Beach and the Riverwalk, the Millennium Carillon is a gift from the people of our community for all future generations to enjoy.
Those who donated funds to make our carillon possible also left messages about themselves, their life in Naperville, and their support of the carillon project. You can read their messages in this cyberspace time capsule.
