The Chicago Architecture Center will host Open House Chicago on October 16/ 17—a free, two-day public festival that offers self-guided history and architecture trails throughout Chicago, talks and programming, and behind-the-scenes access to architecturally, historically and culturally significant sites across the city. There will be extended programming and city-wide trails available for the entire month of October.
This 2021 program will highlight more than 30 Chicago neighborhoods, North Shore suburbs and Oak Park, with 30 trails for self-guided, outdoor exploration on themes including community engagement, green spaces, historic preservation, residential architecture and more. The festival will also include a broad array of talks and virtual programs, as well as tips and itineraries for exploring shopping, dining, and other attractions in each neighborhood.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, OHC 2020 was reimagined to support public health and safety, with a model including both online programs and self-guided, themed and outdoor tours available via the OHC mobile app. The OHC app, open October 1-31, will be coupled with the classic in-person, indoor, immersive experience the weekend of October 16-17, 2021.
