City of Chicago Advisory Question: Develop Permanent Festival and Outdoor Event Space for Large-Scale Events
Source: nbcchicago.com
What does this measure do?
Asks Chicago voters, in a nonbinding poll, whether the city should build a permanent festival and outdoor event space for large events like Lollapalooza instead of closing parts of Grant Park each summer. A yes vote changes nothing by itself; any project would need separate approval and funding.
Proposed by: Chicago City Council (Resolution R2026-0025459, sponsor Ald. Nicole Lee, 11th Ward)
Lee is the 11th Ward alderman. She wants the city to build a permanent home for festivals and other large outdoor events.

A YES vote means
You tell city officials you want a permanent festival and event space; the city would still have to plan and pay for it.
A NO vote means
You tell city officials you do not want a permanent festival space; nothing changes.
