Celebrating in Washington Park
Where Washington Park hosts use lighting
Washington Park takes its name from the big park that anchors it, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux with a lagoon, meadows and a fieldhouse. The DuSable Museum of African American History sits inside, and Lorado Taft's Fountain of Time marks the west end of the Midway Plaisance. The park is a favorite for reunions, cookouts and cultural festivals.
