Redmoon, in partnership with the City of Chicago and the Chicago Park District, created the Great Chicago Fire Festival to unite Chicago’s neighborhoods and show the world the city's strength.  The festival is a free, citywide event that expresses Chicago's unique character by celebrating the city's epic resurgence following the tragic fire of 1871.  With support from ArtPlace in 2013, Redmoon conceptulized, planned and produced the inaugural Great Chicago Fire Festival in 2014.
