Chicago Humanities Festival

The Chicago Humanities Festival’s mission is to create opportunities for people of all ages to support, enjoy, and explore the humanities. Since 1990, world-renowned authors, scholars, poets, policy-makers, artists, and performers have gathered each November at Chicago’s many cultural institutions to celebrate the power of ideas in human culture. And each year, tens of thousands of enthusiastic audience participants rediscover the rich and vital role the humanities play in their daily lives. Chicago Humanities Festival also supports ongoing programs throughout the year that encourage the study and enjoyment of the humanities.
