Wrigley Square

Wrigley Square is a public plaza in Millennium Park featuring a semi-circular arrangement of 24 paired limestone columns reaching about 40 feet high in the park's northwest section. A bronze fountain at the base incorporates architectural details inspired by the nearby Wrigley Building.

This location originally held a classical peristyle monument designed by Edward Bennett in 1917. The original structure was removed in 1953 to make way for parking, but a replica was later reconstructed on the same site.

This space functions as an open-air gallery where photography exhibitions and musical performances happen regularly. Visitors come to experience art and live music throughout the year while surrounded by downtown surroundings.

This plaza sits in the northwest section of Millennium Park and is easily accessible through multiple park entrances. The open space is pedestrian-friendly with seating areas along the fountain where you can rest and observe the surroundings.

The fountain incorporates design elements from the nearby Wrigley Building, creating a visual connection to the surrounding architecture. An accessible edge allows visitors to sit directly next to the water and examine the craftsmanship of the fountain up close.
