CHANGE IS COMING TO CHICAGO! 

After four years of anticipation, the Barack Obama Presidential Center is finally set to open in spring 2026 — and the world is ready to welcome a new symbol of hope, faith, and change.

Located in Jackson Park, this $850 million landmark isn’t just a tribute to America’s 44th president — it’s a living community hub, where people from around the globe can come together to learn, get inspired, and build a better future.
“When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, it will be a hub for change — a place for people from all over the world to come together, get inspired, and take what they learn back to their own communities.”

— Barack Obama
Yes We Can — Again.
A new era is rising in Chicago… and beyond.
