Overview:

One of Chicago’s most important cultural institutions celebrates it’s 58th year in 2022, and is adding a new element. This year, The Chicago International Film Festival kicks off its twelve-day run with an Opening Night Block Party. The purpose of this added element is to increase brand awareness, to engage and entertain opening night attendees prior to the first screening…  and to simple… celebrate !

Attendees will choose from a variety of food options offered by local restaurants and favorite food trucks, drink champagne, wine or beer, dance to live music and DJ’s, enter to win prizes, and learn all about this years’ Chicago Film Festival line up.

All of this fun culminates in the first screening of the 12-day annual world-renowned Chicago International Film Festival.
