Last night we conducted an excellent and productive final planning meeting for the Chicago's Birthday Party event, which takes place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. next Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at the geographic center of Chicago (West 37th and South Honore streets).

A huge thanks to all of the dozens of local community groups, enterprises and individuals all coming together to put on a fantastic event for our communities and all of Chicago. Thanks, too, to last night's collaborators, including stage manager Maurilio Rodriguez, Yareli Cortez of Cook County 7th District Commissioner Alma Anaya's office, marketing and PR pro Salomon Navarro, 12th Ward Chief of Staff Bill Drew Jr., Cynthia Hengst and Adriana Kenning of the McKinley Park Civic Association, John Hughes of St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Benjamin Ortega of Tu Casa Guanajuato, 12th Ward Alderwoman Julia Ramirez, McKinley Park Underage Drinking and Other Substances Coalition (McK-UDOS) Director Mimi Tsang, and St. Andrew Pastor Adam Gawel.

We hope you can join us at this fun and free community event!
