The Gathering of the Craigs: Chicago 2026

Finally A list worth being on!

No used lawnmowers, no ‘missed connections',’ and absolutely no shady apartment listings.

The Official Craigslist is calling, and it is time for the ultimate roll call.

On Friday, September 25th, 2026, history will be made at the Chicago Bean (Cloud Gate) in Millennium Park. Every single person in the Chicagoland area who answers to the name "Craig" is gathering for the first-ever Gathering of the Craigs.

This is not a drill. It is a monumental celebration of a legendary name.

Why You Need to Be There

  • The Ultimate Roll Call: Imagine a crowd of hundreds, all sharing your name, answering the call at once.

  • All Craigs Welcome: Old Craigs, young Craigs, tall Craigs, small Craigs—if it is on your ID, you belong here.

  • The Ultimate Photo Op: We are packing the reflective surface of The Bean with a sea of Craigs for a historic group photo.

  • Unrivaled Camaraderie: High-five a Craig, grab a drink with a Craig, and swap stories with fellow name-sharers.
