Millennium Park

Millennium Park is a public park located in the Loop area of Chicago, originally intended to celebrate the second millennium. It is a prominent civic center near the city's Lake Michigan shoreline that covers a 24.5-acre (99,000 m2) section of northwestern Grant Park. The area was previously occupied by parkland, rail yards, and parking lots, and features a variety of public art. As of 2009, Millennium Park trailed only Navy Pier as a Chicago tourist attraction, and in 2015, the park became the location of the city's annual Christmas tree lighting.

Planning of the park began in October 1997. Construction began in October 1998, and Millennium Park was opened in a ceremony on July 16, 2004, four years behind schedule. The three-day opening celebrations were attended by some 300,000 people and included an inaugural concert by the Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus. The park has received awards for its accessibility and green design. Some observers consider Millennium Park to be the city's most important project since the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893.
