POSTPONED! We regret to inform you that the NLG's annual celebration has been postponed due to inclement weather. If you already purchased a ticket, you will receive a refund from Eventbrite in the next week. If you’d still like to make a donation to help ensure we can continue our support for Chicago’s movement, you can donate here.

We have been anxiously watching the forecast leading up to Saturday’s celebration. For most of the week, it looked like we were going to have a warm night without a drop of rain in sight. In recent days, Hurricane Helene has increased the risk of rain.

Due to the huge outpouring of support for the Guild, we have outgrown our back-up plan to move our event indoors. We are so grateful that so many of you wanted to come together to celebrate our work and community but there is not enough indoor space at Haymarket to ensure the type of evening we had originally planned for. Additionally, COVID cases have been surging in recent weeks and we don’t believe we could create a safe and accessible event in Haymarket’s close quarters.

We plan to reschedule this event for spring of 2025 to help ensure we can have a beautiful night together, celebrating our honorees, outside as we had planned.

Sincerely,
NLG Chicago
