Street, sidewalk closures for Chicago's 2024 Lollapalooza underway, with more to come

Major street closures for the 2024 Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago’s Grant Park are underway, with more set to come in the coming weeks as the iconic summer event draws near.

“We have worked with the City of Chicago to ensure we have a plan in place which maximizes convenience to all of our neighbors and minimizes overall impact to the street and circulation patterns for area residents and businesses,” a post on Lollapalooza’s website said. “We have also coordinated the breakdown of the event to return your sidewalks, streets, and parkways to you as soon as possible. ”

The bulk of the street closures for the event, scheduled for Aug. 1-4, will begin next week, the event’s website said. Many sidewalk and street closures will last well after the festival is over and into mid-August, the site showed.

Some street sidewalk closures went into effect as early as July 17. Beginning July 22, a flew of others will take place, followed by more the week of July 29.
