Calendar

The Great Rivers Chicago calendar displays any and all events past and future that our team has organized and/or will participate in. Many of these events are open to the public—please come!—but in some instances, our team is invited to meet with a specific group or organization. For transparency and to demonstrate the breadth of audiences with which we're engaging, we've included those private, closed events on this list as well.

If you have questions or would like to speak with our team, contact:
