The Obama library's grand opening ceremony is being held the day before the presidential center opens to the public on Juneteenth, for thousands of invited guests. The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. CT.

    While the ceremony itself is invite only, the Obama Foundation is hosting a free watch party on Midway Plaisance starting at 9 a.m. You can also watch the ceremony on CBS News Chicago, stream it on CBSChicago.com, or watch on the Obama Foundation's YouTube and social media accounts.

    1. I love that serious artirs don’t want to perform for whatever Trump is trying to pull for the 250 celebration and a bunch of them cancelled and Obama even pulled Bono 😭✊🏻

      I have been watching videos of different exhibits and parts of the OPC (Obama Presidential Center) and it looks amazing. 

      As a Canadian, I hope to visit it one day when the 🍊 is out of office. 

    3. How can you tell a president is beloved? Just look at those that support him with love and enthusiasm, and TALENT. He can’t even get B/C-list talent to perform at his events. If you didn’t know already, Trump is a LOSER. Obama FTW!

    4. No FloRida? No C+C music factory? No Jelly Roll? No Kid Rock?????? Not my America

      Obama pulling a better lineup for the opening of his library than POTUS can for America’s 250th birthday is such a damning example of the cancer currently desecrating the Oval Office.

      I hate this timeline.
