Get ready for a major upgrade on the Major Taylor Trail—this Saturday, Morgan Park celebrates the dazzling unveiling of “Holding Space,” a stunning canopy art installation by Nnenna Okore, inspired by Nigerian textiles and designed to invite connection. Alongside the art, over half a mile of trail has been restored, cleared of invasive weeds and replanted with native species to boost local ecology. This vibrant stretch, from 111th to 115th streets, is a community-driven triumph—thanks to tireless efforts from trail keepers and allies like the Trust for Public Land. Named after cycling legend Marshall “Major” Taylor, this 8-mile trail links forest preserves and aims to become a beloved destination for all. The festivities kick off a summer packed with events, including a Juneteenth fundraiser, turning the trail into a hub for neighborhood life and citywide attraction.
