On Tuesday, July 21, the Outdoor Film Festival will feature a free showing of the movie Duck Soup. People attending the festival will receive a Groucho nose and glasses for a attempt to enter the

Join the fun at Grant Park on Tuesday night, see a free movie on the giant outdoor screen and get a chance to be a part of the Guinness Book of World Records.
Sign in to receive your free glasses. People must wear the glasses for a total of 15 minutes and pose for a video and photo at about 8:15 pm.
