The Chicago Home Theater Festival has officially kicked off. For two weeks, the  festival invites strangers into one another’s home to celebrate one another’s differences and share their stories. Guests enjoy a communal meal, engage in socially conscious dialogue, and experience transformative art.

The festival takes place throughout many of  Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods. You can visit anywhere including Humboldt Park, Rogers Park, Hyde Park, and Pilsen just to name a few.

To kick off the evening,  hosts will give a brief tour of their neighborhood giving you a glimpse at the rich culture and history.

Check it out and make yourself at home somewhere new and get to know your Chicago neighbors. Plus, find out how you can support Chicago artists.
