Submit your Chicago event

We’re happy to share that Choose Chicago is accepting submissions for more events than ever. Throughout 2021, we’ll feature virtual events, Chicagoland area suburban events, and concerts at music venues of any size.

Please note: Virtual events are performances and other cultural activities that are live streamed at a future date and time.
