Admission is free, thanks to the generosity of sponsors. Film critics Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper, hosts of Ebert and Roeper at the Movies, will open the festival. They will share comments, anecdotes, ideas and criticisms. Ebert and Roeper take center stage at 8:15 p.m.
For Your Convenience Cyclists can beat the traffic by biking! The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation and the Mayor's Office of Special Events provides FREE Bike Valet Parking at all films. The valet is located on the northwest corner of Lake Shore Drive and Monroe Streets.
Sorry, no dogs are allowed at the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival because crowds are stressful to animals, even the most peaceful pup can become aggressive under these conditions. Love your pets by leaving them at home!
