Chicago Sister Cities International Festival
Join Chicago Sister Cities at the iconic Daley Plaza for its annual International Festival. Positioned as a beacon of unity in our interconnected world, the festival invites attendees to embark on a culinary journey, showcasing delicacies from Chicago’s sister cities. Lose yourself in global rhythms and melodies, and explore the Merchandise Bazaar where every handpicked item not only reflects international artistry but also supports the artisans behind them.
“We believe that in today’s world, connecting cultures and understanding our global neighbors is more important than ever,” said Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. “And what better way to do that than through the universal languages of food, music, and art?”
