Your Night Out at Home

Like many organizations, the pandemic continues to challenge us to re-imagine and discover new ways of presenting public events safely and responsibly. As we move through 2021, the Park District is committed to presenting an assortment of live events and virtual experiences to bring our programming to audiences wherever they feel most comfortable.

The “Your Night Out At Home” series shines a virtual spotlight on our parks and artist partners, sharing the best of Chicago’s performing arts community from the comfort of your home. “Your Night Out at Home” provides a chance to travel digitally and explore the incredible breadth of talent our city offers. Viewers can find a diverse array of established companies and emerging artists across many disciplines, inviting you to experience something new and keeping you connected to the rhythm of the city. Night Out partners may offer performances, workshops, educational explorations and more – virtually leading us in activities our park patrons have come to love and expect throughout a typical event season.

Tune in throughout the summer as we showcase Chicago’s finest artists here!

The summer of 2020 challenged the Chicago Park District, Night Out in the Parks, and local arts partners to present our diverse cultural tapestry in a new way.  In addition to creating the digital “Your Night Out At Home” series, the Park District partnered with WTTW to launch “The Stars In Your Backyard,” a 5 week series presented on Friday afternoons this past summer. The program is a collection of new and archived performances in public parks and spaces that celebrates Chicago’s finest artists and the spirit of public performance.

It gives us great pleasure to re-feature this series here for your enjoyment!
