Mahogany in the Park
Join us on the lawn of The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center for a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the film Mahogany, starring the iconic Diana Ross. Attendees are encouraged to arrive in full ‘70s glam—wide lapels, flowing fabrics, high drama—in celebration of the era’s boldness and beauty. Enjoy live DJ sets ahead of the screening, sponsored beverages, and beauty giveaways. Food will be available for purchase by local vendors. Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks for a night of fashion under the stars. For more information, visit mahoganyat50.com.
The outdoor screening is presented in partnership with the Mahogany at 50 organizing committee, Chicago Park District, and The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center. It is part of the Chicago Park District’s Night Out in the Parks series, which brings free cultural events to neighborhood parks across the city, amplifying Chicago’s vibrant artistic communities and ensuring equitable access to the arts for all.
