The Chicago History Museum collaborates with local community leaders, artists, and youth to set the stage every summer for Civic Season in partnership with Made By Us. Our programming starts Juneteenth and continues with Civic Saturdays all leading toward our final program on Independence Day.

During Civic Season, the Museum will serve as a space to help Chicagoans connect with their communities and build new skills. Using the past as a guide, we can draw a roadmap to future community participation so we may all be more informed and engaged citizens.
