Which nights should you book for Making Strides of Chicago?
The festival runs on a single day — Sunday, 17 October 2026. Since festival-goers are choosing a hotel over camping and value comfort for late returns, many will book the night before (Saturday, 16 October) to rest ahead of the event and ensure they’re well-positioned for early arrival or pre-festival activity. If you plan to stay on-site after the festival ends and return to your room late that same evening, you’ll only need one night’s booking — but note that all listed hotels are bookable for that date, and availability for Saturday night is not guaranteed unless confirmed directly with the property.
