Event to Take Place August 19-23 at United Center
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) will be held in Chicago, Illinois, from August 19-23, 2024, at the United Center, the party announced on Wednesday.
The convention will celebrate Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as the Democratic nominees for president and vice president, respectively.
Delegates and officials from across the country will gather in Chicago for the event, which will include speeches from party leaders, platform discussions, and the official nomination of Harris and Walz.
- The convention will be the first major political event to be held in Chicago since the 1968 Democratic National Convention, which was marked by protests and violence.
- The DNC is expected to draw thousands of people to Chicago and generate millions of dollars in economic activity for the city.
- The United Center is a 20,000-seat arena that is home to the Chicago Bulls and Blackhawks.
The DNC is a quadrennial event that brings together Democrats from across the country to nominate their presidential and vice presidential candidates and adopt a party platform.
The 2020 DNC was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the 2024 convention is expected to be a more traditional in-person event.
The Republican National Convention will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from July 15-18, 2024.
