The Parks Gala: Parks After Dark
Presented by Chicago Parks Foundation
On Saturday, June 27th, the Chicago Parks Foundation will host our inaugural gala at the Obama Presidential Center, marking one of the first major public celebrations within this historic new landscape - and the first ever for our beloved parks.
