Chance the Rapper is coming to help kick off the holidays at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago (MSI), on Wednesday, November 16, with the official opening of the beloved Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light exhibits. Chance will join Chevy Humphrey, President and CEO at MSI, and Santa Larry in lighting the Museum’s historic Rotunda, including a four-story Grand Tree and more than 50 surrounding trees and displays representing cultures and traditions from across the globe. Guests will also enjoy festive music from the Kids of the Kingdom (K.O.K.) choir. 

Chance the Rapper will share details about the 4th Annual A Night at the Museum Event, hosted at MSI in partnership with his charity, SocialWorks, on Friday, December 16. A Night at the Museum is a family-fun holiday event allowing guests to explore MSI after-hours, engaging with 50+ event-only vendors, activations, performers, and more! The event will consist of an evening filled with family-friendly fun and holiday cheer, inspiring thoughtfulness and unity in all attendees.
