Loop Alliance Bringing “Sundays on State” Series Back for the Summer

Chicago Loop Alliance is announcing dates for the return of the Sundays on State event series, which will close parts of State Street in the Loop to vehicle traffic on July 16 and August 13 this summer. Sundays on State is free and open to the public and will take place this year with an expanded footprint.

The program will utilize State Street from Lake to Adams, an expansion from previous years. Lake, Randolph, Washington, Madison, and Monroe will remain open east-west. Traffic street closures will last from 5 a.m.-midnight, and the event itself will take place from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. on both Sundays.

“Now in its third year, Sundays on State remains an ambitious and extremely successful initiative, with over 113,000 attendees at the first event in 2022,” said Chicago Loop Alliance president and CEO Michael Edwards. “The event series continues to attract thousands, providing unique access to hundreds of small businesses, artists and entrepreneurs from across the Chicagoland area, while also accelerating the Loop’s economic recovery.”
