In 2005, the village opened the Commons anchored by the Performing Arts Pavilion. The village organizes a Summer Performing Arts Program including a series of free concerts and family movie nights. Each year the village hosts the Triple Play Concert Series featuring national recording artists performing on three different dates each summer. In 2024 it was announced that the Triple Play Concert would be rebranded to the Summer Concert Series as the mayor said it would have more notable artists perform and more concerts occurring throughout the summer.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 28, 2024 |title=Ticket Sale Date Set For Smokey Robinson At New Lenox Commons |url=https://patch.com/illinois/newlenox/ticket-sale-date-set-smokey-robinson-new-lenox-commons |access-date=March 31, 2024 |website=New Lenox, IL Patch |language=en}}</ref>
