As Kamala Harris accepts the Democratic nomination for president inside the United Center Aug. 22 before a room full of delegates, donors and party elites, ordinary Chicagoans will be able to join the party at Soldier Field.
The Democratic National Convention is coming to Chicago Monday through Aug. 22 to rally the party behind Harris, who was catapulted to the top of the Democratic ticket after President Joe Biden exited the race.
But the convention isn’t open to just anyone. The way to get in is to be a delegate or donor, have ties to the Democratic Party or volunteer.
GoChiLife, a nonprofit that aims to build partnerships to “showcase the best of Chicago,” is planning a watch party at Soldier Field for community members, a spokesperson said.
The event will be Aug. 22 starting at 7 p.m., and include a live viewing of Harris’ acceptance speech.
Hip-hop artist Tobe Nwigwe will take the stage at 10 p.m. as the night’s headlining entertainment act.
Tickets to the event are free. Attendees just have to register online.
