Washington (George) Park | 5531 S. King Drive

Event begins at 6:00p | Film Screening at 8:00p

One of our signature events, Mahogany in the Park, takes place on August 2 in Washington Park, the same neighborhood where Billy Dee Williams’ character runs for alderman in the film. The outdoor screening is presented in partnership with the Chicago Park District and The DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center, one of the oldest African American museums in the country. It is part of the Chicago Park District’s Night Out in the Parks series, which brings free cultural events to neighborhood parks across the city, amplifying Chicago’s vibrant artistic communities and ensuring equitable access to the arts for all.  Attendees are encouraged to arrive in full ‘70s glam—wide lapels, flowing fabrics, high drama—in celebration of the era’s boldness, beauty, and political edge. Enjoy live DJ sets, sponsored beverages, photo opportunities, and food for purchase from local vendors. Feel free to personal bring food, chairs, blankets, and other beverages and get comfortable for a night in community. For more information, visit Nights Out in the Park.

Free and open to the public.
