Independence Day Program
July 4, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm
Included in general admissionJoin us on Thursday, July 4 at 10 a.m.–4 p.m. for a day full of indoor and outdoor activities! Enjoy gallery tours, performances, artmaking, family-friendly trivia, games, crafts, a collaborative mural, opportunities to connect with civics-focused organizations in Chicago, and more.
Rather than a traditional formal program on the plaza, our festivities will give visitors more opportunities to explore the Museum and draw stronger connections to our exhibitions and historical content. With this expanded program, we are sharing stories of past Chicagoans who have helped shape this city and celebrating those civic superheroes who have impacted society for the better.
This format allows us to amplify our mission, exhibitions, and partners with an inspiring, interactive experience for all that is rooted in Chicago’s contributions to the American story.
