The Pick'n In Grant Park BBQ & Music Festival was put on by the Grant Park Conservancy in 2015 and 2016. A 2017 festival was never promoted, but organizers announced the postponement last week on Facebook.

The conservancy's executive director, Michelle Blackmon, said Monday that the group wanted to try something a little different this year. She was referring to the Grant Park Birthday Gala and Silent Auction, an event that the small organization hopes might raise more money for the park than the previous festival did.
