The Magnificent Mile Art ™ Festival showcases the original art of 60 artists in the plaza and sidewalks of 875 North Michigan Avenue (previously known as the Hancock Building) in this free to the public arts event.
The event is hosted by 875 North Michigan Avenue and The Magnificent Mile Association. Michigan Avenue, also called "The Magnificent Mile" is Chicago's world renowned upscale shopping area playing host to world class luxury stores, boutiques, residences and offices.
