Join us for A Night of Elegance, Culture, and Celebration
At the Historic Pilgrim Baptist Church
Historic Pilgrim Baptist Church invites you to
an extraordinary evening of elegance, culture, and
community as we gather for a landmark cultural event honoring heritage, music, and legacy.
Date: Saturday, April 25, 2026
Details: Make a Joyful Noise
Come be part of a night where history, culture, and community meet beneath the roof of one of Chicago’s most treasured landmarks.
In remembrance of our history and in celebration of our continued journey, we are hosting a Pilgrim Choir & Friends Concert and Fundraiser. This inspiring musical gathering will bring together choirs, musicians, and supporters who share a love for gospel music and a commitment to preserving Pilgrim’s legacy.
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the devastating fire that claimed our beloved National Landmark church building. Though the fire destroyed the historic structure, it did not extinguish the spirit, faith, or musical legacy of Pilgrim Baptist Church. For generations, Pilgrim has been a sacred space where gospel music was nurtured and shared with the world.
