Mahogany in The Park

You cannot talk about Mahogany (1975) without talking about Chicago’s culture of Black cultural innovation. In partnership with @mahoganyat50, we are so excited to host a screening of Mahogany, as we reflect on Chicago’s influence on global style and storytelling.

In 1975, Diana Ross lit up the screen in Mahogany as Tracy Chambers, a young Black fashion designer from Chicago whose dreams carried her from the South Side to the runways of Rome.

This Saturday, we’ll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Mahogany with a night on our lawn: live DJs, a community fashion show, a raffle, giveaways, food trucks, and more. Not to mention a showing of Mahogany on the big screen! Come dressed in your 70s/streetwear best to walk our stage and enter yourself into a giveaway!

Event Details:
Saturday, August 2
6 PM – 10 PM
On the lawn at DuSable Museum
With Live DJs + Community Fashion Show

We’re looking forward to a joyful summer night filled with music, style, and the kind of togetherness that defines our city at its best. Let’s make it one to remember.
