This is something new for Chicago and looks like it could be pretty amazing. The following information is from chicagoloopalliance.com/looptopia/index.htm:
Premiering May 11, LOOPTOPIA will be America’s first dusk-to-dawn cultural and artistic spectacle showcasing the vibrancy and excitement of Chicago’s historic Loop neighborhood through musical and theatrical performances, unique shopping and dining opportunities, indoor programs, outdoor exhibitions, architectural tours, artistic installations and mesmerizing light displays.
Inspired by “White Night” events in Rome, Montreal and Paris, LOOPTOPIA will feature over 75 events staged throughout the Loop including museums, gardens, plazas, cultural halls, storefronts, theatres, night clubs, libraries, cinemas, restaurants, loading docks and alleyways.
LOOPTOPIA will literally transform the entire Loop into a sensory playground with cutting edge lighting and design elements that will immerse the Looptopia visitor in amazing sights and sounds.
LOOPTOPIA’s first-year footprint roughly extends from Wacker Drive to Congress Parkway and from Dearborn to Lake Michigan.
From a audience member perspective, LOOPTOPIA provides the opportunity to be inspired and awed by the talent of over 50 of Chicago’s cultural and artistic partners- all in one night. An additional 15-20 Loop retailers, entertainment venues and cultural centers will extend hours – in some cases until sunrise - with unique and energizing and amazing programming.

Thanks for the information. Hopefully it%26#39;s better than Nuit Blanche in Paris, which is way too overcrowded and rowdy to be any fun at all.

Just wanted to mention this again...schedule is at looptopia.com
The Art Institute is going to be open til Midnight with a great special display of impressionist art which ends Saturday before moving to the Musee D%26#39;Orsay in Paris. Can%26#39;t wait to see it...
I believe admission to the museum is free this night.
