Get matched →Located 2 blocks north of Millennium Park, the 19 th Millennium Art Festival returns to downtown Chicago! More than 175,000 people visit the area daily for work or play at the Art Institute, the famous Millennium Park and the "Bean". Chicagoans, convention attendees and tourists patronize and love this show. The festival takes place right off the famous Michigan Avenue on Lake Street, close to an array of cultural amenities long associated with a destination in the heart of the city. The neighborhood is bordered by Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and Michigan Avenue. This community is primarily residential and is noted for architecturally significant buildings. The neighborhood is home to the well-known Harbor Point Tower, a high rise that sits as a beacon to Chicago's outer drive. Newer condominiums provide their occupants with original architecture that is esthetically appealing and environmentally and energy efficient in design.
