Last year’s events drew over 500,000 attendees from every zip code in the city of Chicago and over twenty states. It resulted in an economic impact of well over 12 million dollars. In addition to accelerating the economic recovery, the goals of the event are to unite the community, create joy, and positively impact the public perception of downtown Chicago.
