DCASE Unveils Expanded Lineup of Summer Cultural Events
Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) on Monday announced an expanded roster of returning, new and reimagined summer cultural events across Chicago.
The announcement also included artist lineups and other details for city programs previously announced as part of “Open Culture,” a component of the Mayor’s “Open Chicago” initiative to safely and fully reopen the city.
The city will permit dozens of other free and affordable special events throughout the summer. DCASE will lift the remaining capacity limits for events, aside from normal venue capacity, and won’t require advance registration. All summer events will adhere to the latest public health and safety guidelines, with mobile vaccinations at many city-sponsored events.
“Chicago’s arts landscape has been devastated by the pandemic, but I’m excited to see our music clubs, theaters, and festivals come back to life and energize Chicago,” said DCASE Commissioner Mark Kelly.
