Thank you, Chicago! 🙏💕 We couldn't be prouder of the collective effort our city displayed this week and in the months leading up to the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Thank you to our partners at the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, Chicago 2024 Host Committee , 2024 Democratic National Convention Committee, McCormick Place, United Center, Hawthorne Strategy Group, Chicago Federation of Labor, and everyone else involved in planning and executing this incredible week. Thank you to the hotels that provided outstanding hospitality experiences for all visitors. Thank you to the restaurants, shops, cultural institutions, venues, and other local businesses that showed out for DNC visitors. Thank you especially to each and every Chicago resident who went out of their way to make visitors feel welcome. We put our best foot forward and showed the world what we've always known – Chicago is the most beautiful, dynamic, innovative city in America. And we're ready for anything. Thanks to the hard work of all these groups and so many more, the positive impact of the DNC will be felt for years to come.

People sent a lot of love from Chicago this week ❤ ✉️ We collected about 3,000 postcards from DNC welcome parties at Navy Pier over the weekend and shipped them out this morning. Thanks to all the delegates and visiting media folks who took a moment to send a note to friends and loved ones from the most beautiful city in America. Come back soon and send another!

We have also set up an information table in the press pavilion outside the United Center to share information on all things Chicago with the thousands of visiting press moving through the space every day.

Thanks to all of the DNC delegates who turned out for tonight's welcome party at Navy Pier this evening! We had incredible performances from local artists including Melody Angel and Michael Damani, Chicago style hotdogs, and a very popular "Chicago Style Bar" where attendees could pick up swag, get temporary tattoos, and fill out postcards from the DNC. We even had guest appearances by Jaime Harrison and Luke Skywalker (AKA Mark Hamill)! The big event starts tomorrow! Chicago 2024 Host Committee 2024 Democratic National Convention Committee
