Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara
Writer/Director John Hughes has created a visual homage to the city of Chicago as the wise beyond his years Ferris charms his way out of school for the day and takes along his girl and his best pal. The famous parade sequence, which features Broderick's lip synching to "Danke Shan", is a recreation of the Von Steuben Day Parade.

The City of Chicago presents the 7th Annual Chicago Outdoor Film Festival. View seven weeks of classic films every Tuesday evening beginning July 18 through August 29, presented by ComEd, An Exelon Company, The Chicago Film Office, a division of the Mayor's Office of Special Events and the Chicago Park District.

Now considered a Chicago tradition, this one-of-a-kind outdoor theater experience includes a gigantic screen (50' x 34') and a state-of-the art sound system. Movies begin at sunset (see show times below) in Butler Field, Grant Park at Lake Shore Drive and Monroe. Admission is free, thanks to the generosity of sponsors.

For Your Convenience
Cyclists can beat the traffic by biking! The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation and the Mayor's Office of Special Events provides FREE Bike Valet Parking at all films. The valet is located on the northwest corner of Lake Shore Drive and Monroe Streets.

Sorry, no dogs are allowed at the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival because crowds are stressful to animals, even the most peaceful pup can become aggressive under these conditions. Love your pets by leaving them at home!

A special thanks to our sponsors, the Chicago Sun-Times, Time Out Chicago Magazine, WNUA - 95.5, and the Chicago Transit Authority.

The Chicago Outdoor Film Festival honors the work of film critic Gene Siskel.
