About Chess Pocket Park Concerts Experience the harmony of music and community this summer with the WCHOF Music Series’ Chess Pocket Park Concerts, a collection of fun, free outdoor performances held in various Saint Louis parks. These concerts are designed to be engaging community events that spotlight local performers and raise awareness of the World Chess Hall of Fame & Galleries. These concerts take place adjacent to the iconic stone chess tables installed by the Saint Louis Chess Club. We call these vibrant community spaces Chess Pocket Parks, and they serve as the perfect backdrop for making chess accessible to everyone while enjoying an hour of exceptional music.
