Before Utopia: Chicago 2026 at Rainbow

A walking tour set in the year 2276, looking back at 2026 as a historical curiosity. Chicago Shpatz stages this immersive guided walk along Rainbow Beach, with local historians and reenactors portraying a world where housing cost money, borders existed, and an 80-year-old dictator ran the country. It's a playful, pointed piece of political theater rather than a straightforward history lesson. The tour meets at the fieldhouse on Sunday, August 2, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM. Registration is required.
