LUMA8, in collaboration with the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), is pleased to announce the fifth annual Arts in the Dark, a festive and magical nighttime Halloween parade along State St. on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019, from 6p.m., to 8p.m., showcasing the creativity of Chicago’s diverse cultural community and celebrating Halloween as the “artist’s holiday.” The event is produced by LUMA8 (Light Up My Arts), a nonprofit dedicated to elevating Chicago as a focal point of artistic innovation to enrich the lives of its citizens and create economic impact. Arts in the Dark will begin marching on State St. at dusk, traveling south from Lake St. to Van Buren St. This year’s procession will bring together more than 80 contingents ranging from world-renowned organizations like The Joffrey Ballet and Lookingglass Theatre, to important programs such as After School Matters and aspiring artists in every field. This family-friendly event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.ArtsintheDark.org.
