The street will be closed off for the free block party featuring art, culture, active recreation, food and drink, shopping and local attractions.

"We can't wait to welcome everyone downtown for our first Sundays on State event," said Chicago Loop Alliance President and CEO Michael Edwards. "This is going to be State Street like you've never experienced it before. It's not every day you get to watch a wrestling match or take a yoga class in the middle of the most iconic street in Chicago. There really is something for everyone to enjoy."
