Shore Land walks in August 2026
I’m pleased to announce two Shore Land walks on August 22 and 29. This is the long-awaited walk of the entire lakefront, divided into two sections:
Sat August 22 starting at 10am - RSVP HERE
From Calumet Park to Grant Park
Approximately 14 miles, 8 hours long
Opening remarks by Billie Warren (Pokagon Band of Potawatomi)
Sat August 29 starting at 10am - RSVP HERE
From Grant Park to Berger Park
Approximately 10 miles, 6 hours long
Opening remarks by Madolyn Wesaw (Pokagon Band of Potawatomi)
This is a free public event. Please RSVP so we can update you with any changes and contact information for finding the group along the way! Click on each date above for the link to register for the event.
Participants may join or depart the walks at any point during the day. For the best experience, please bring headphones to listen to the audio tracks, wear walking shoes and sun protection, and bring water and snacks to stay hydrated and nourished. The events will take intermittent breaks to use washrooms, refill water bottles, and connect with others along the way.
All six project signs have now been installed along the Chicago lakefront. Each sign describes the project and has a QR code to access and stream the audio file. If you can’t join us on the walks, you can check them out any time. Follow on Instagram for updates.
