Chicago announces 2018 Millennium Park summer season events

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) are pleased to announce the dates for Millennium Park’s 2018 summer season which runs from May through September. Millennium Park will offer traditional favorites like the Chicago House Music Festival, Chicago Gospel Music Festival, Chicago Blues Festival, Summer Music Series, Summer Film Series and SummerDance Celebration, in addition to dozens of free concerts, events, family activities, nature programs, work outs, public art and more. New this year, the Creative Youth Festival will take place on September 22, showcasing teen artists in dance, theatre, music, spoken word, the visual arts and more as part of the 2018 Year of Creative Youth initiative.

“This summer, Millennium Park will bring together millions of Chicago residents and visitors to experience world class culture and entertainment for free throughout the summer,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “The summer performances are one of many reasons why Millennium Park is the number one attraction in the Midwest, and showcases why no place in the world beats Chicago.”

The 2018 Millennium Park summer season is presented by DCASE and its programming partners, and is made possible by the Millennium Park Foundation and others.

“Located in the heart of the city, Millennium Park offers a beautiful gathering place for all to linger and enjoy,” said Mark Kelly, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. “We encourage everyone to discover the state of the art collection of architecture and landscape design that provides the perfect backdrop for hundreds of free cultural programs.

This summer season, Millennium Park will implement additional security measures designed to improve the visitor experience at the park. Beginning May 19, the City of Chicago will implement a security perimeter and bag check for all concerts and events that take place in Millennium Park. These strengthened security measures were developed with the City’s public safety officials, and will provide similar protections to other major events, trade shows, retail spaces and airports around the world.

Outside alcohol will also be prohibited at the seven Jay Pritzker Pavilion events with the highest attendance, including the Chicago House Music Festival on May 26; the Chicago Blues Festival from June 8–10; the Chicago Mariachi Festival on June 24; the Grant Park Music Festival Independence Day Salute on July 4; Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me on August 9; the Broadway in Chicago Summer Concert on August 13; and the Chicago Jazz Festival from August 29–September 2. Outside alcohol will be allowed at the more than 70 public concerts and programs happening in Millennium Park this summer.

Visitors will have additional food and beverage options at various price points available for purchase inside the venue at the events where outside alcohol is restricted. Subject to bag search at the security perimeter, guests will continue to be allowed to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages to all events in Millennium Park.

Millennium Park is Chicago’s town square and the anchor of an urban cultural campus that includes the Chicago Cultural Center, Maggie Daley Park and the Art Institute of Chicago. Opened in 2004, Millennium Park is a 24.5-acre urban park in the heart of downtown Chicago, home to the iconic Cloud Gate (also known as “The Bean”) sculpture by Anish Kapoor, Crown Fountain designed by Jaume Plensa, the Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the internationally-acclaimed Lurie Garden and more.
