The Obama Presidential Center will officially open on June 19 in Chicago’s Jackson Park neighborhood, following an opening ceremony on June 18, the Obama Foundation announced March 7.
The center, first celebrated with a groundbreaking in September 2021 by Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, will host a multi-day celebration from June 18 to June 21 featuring “legendary performances by global icons and powerful remarks from today’s most prominent voices,” the foundation said.
