Cultural & Community Connection

We’re building more than events—we’re building a movement. Refynery connects people, ideas, and experiences that define culture across Chicago and beyond. Our Events Calendar highlights what’s happening across the city—from Refynery-curated experiences to the moments we simply think are too good to miss.
