Legendary Landmarks Celebration

Landmarks Illinois' biggest event of the year!

Since 2006, Landmarks Illinois has honored nearly 40 individuals, families, and corporations at its annual fundraiser, the Legendary Landmarks Celebration. The event’s attendance has grown to over 750 supporters each year and has emerged as the premier affair to celebrate Chicago’s legendary leaders and their contributions to the civic and cultural skyline. In 2015, the event celebrated its 10th Anniversary and raised close to $1 million in revenue for Landmarks Illinois, the largest gross in the celebration’s history. The Legendary Landmarks Celebration is an inspiring evening full of festivities, networking, and tributes to our city’s Legendary Landmarks.

The 2017 Legendary Landmarks Celebration took place March 15, 2017.
