There will be health screenings, giveaways, live entertainment and family activities. There also will be free immunizations, school supplies and haircuts. More than 50 vendors will participate.
Guests will be entertained at the Main Entertainment Stage with performances by the World Champion Jesse White Tumblers, PKay Hula Hoops, Fre2Dance Line Dancers, and VanderCook College of Music.

Free Chicago CityKey cards will be issued by the City Clerk of Chicago from 10 a.m. to noon, and the Illinois Secretary of State will issue state IDs.
The event is free and open to the public.
