The City of Chicago and the organizers of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) would like to minimize impacts and disruptions to local residents, businesses and organizations in advance of the Democratic National Convention, to be held August 19-22, 2024.

A toolkit has been created with information to answer questions and to provide the tools needed to stay in loop on the impacted areas around the United Center and McCormick Place. Please note, some of the items included are maps that represent the areas that could be impacted around each and not the final perimeters.

As we get closer to the start of the convention, additional announcements will be made regarding street closures, parking restrictions, reroutes, alert notifications, how to get around the city and more.

The Office of Emergency Management and Communications website is serving as the hub for local information and impacts and will be updated. We also suggest that you download the ChicagoOEMC app at the Apple App and Google Play stores.

Please share this informational toolkit with your respective communities, employees, family and friends. The materials can be posted on social media, included in email blasts, newsletters, websites and more.
