“Sundays on State remains a marquee event of Chicago programming with immense economic impact, highlighting Chicago as a world-class city with a plethora of assets beyond a traditional central business district,” said Michael Edwards, President and CEO of Chicago Loop Alliance. “This summer event series allows residents, businesses and visitors to unite in an unforgettable downtown experience in the heart of our great city. Last year’s attendance achieved Lollapalooza-sized audiences, and we expect the popularity to grow even further this year.”
“A longstanding and iconic addition to summers in Chicago, Sundays on State showcases the unique and resilient spirit of all Chicagoans as an award-winning event series second to none,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson. “With over 1 million attendees since its inception in 2021, Sundays on State provides our city’s thriving community of small businesses, artists, and entrepreneurs with unparalleled access to Chicago’s most iconic street.”
The program will utilize State Street from Lake to Adams. Lake, Randolph, Washington, Madison, and Monroe will remain open east-west. Traffic street closures will last from 5 a.m. to midnight, and the event itself will take place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both Sundays. At Sundays on State, people unite for a free, interactive block party while enjoying art, culture, recreation, food, drinks, shopping, and local attractions.
