An Invitation From Our Hearts
Let’s be real: Chicago knows how to show up—for the food, the festivals, and for each other. From dancing at summer block parties to catching a lakefront breeze, our city moves with energy, love, and a whole lot of heart. And that’s exactly what our events are all about.
The Chicago Department of Public Health’s Events & Programs Calendars are your go-to for everything from health screenings to family festivals, fitness classes, resource fairs, and community pop-ups. It’s more than just a bunch of schedules— it’s a reflection of everything that makes Chicago, well… Chicago. And let’s be real again—there’s no city like us.
What’s happening?
The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) is committed to helping residents live healthier, longer lives. In collaboration with real people—our communities, community-based organizations, city agencies, and many other partners—we create events, programs, and provide resources that promote overall well-being, provide health protection and treatment options, and support healing, prevention, safety and recovery.
CDPH's vision is really simple: Everyone in Chicago thrives and achieves their optimal health and wellness. Of course we understand that “healthy” looks different for everyone, but seriously, whatever healthy means to you, we’re here to support you.
Please note while attending our events: 1. have fun, these are welcoming spaces and we are happy you are here 2. take the opportunity to have deep conversations with trusted sources like your neighborhood Community Health Worker 3. feel safe and confident that you are receiving guidance from licensed medical providers, nurses, wellness practitioners, leaders, and advocates.
Why, Though?
Because your health, your joy, and our 77 communities and 100+ neighborhoods matter. Because a stronger, healthier Chicago literally needs all of us. Because these events aren’t just about information—they’re about trust, support, and real solutions that fit your life. Because without you, there is no Healthy Chicago.
From the sun rising over Lake Michigan to you waiting on public transit while listening to your favorite song to the energy of a Saturday afternoon on Milwaukee Ave., our city is alive with its own rhythm—powered by us all.
You deserve to feel good, be supported, and know exactly where to turn when you need a hand.
