The Chicago Cultural Mile is Michigan Avenue from the Chicago River to Roosevelt Road and eastward to the Museum Campus. Sibling to the Magnificent Mile, the Chicago Cultural Mile is distinguished by its blend of world-renowned institutions, extraordinary parks, diverse architecture, and dramatic fountains and sculpture. Its stretch of landmark-designated buildings is considered the face of Chicago and serves as a gateway to one of the richest cultural and educational districts in the country. The Chicago Cultural Mile Association (CCMA) is an independent not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of the unique strengths and diverse offerings available to Chicago residents and visitors frequenting this area.
