A Free Community Celebration for Everyone
Join us in the heart of Humboldt Park for the All Hands Party for Community Involvement—a free, family-friendly event celebrating what’s best about Chicago: our people, our creativity, and our collective power to make a difference.
Hosted by True Muse Inc. and The Print Shop, this gathering is about connection—neighbors, artists, and nonprofit partners coming together to share skills, resources, and joy while supporting organizations that keep our communities strong and compassionate.
DJ & Live Music
Because every great gathering deserves a great soundtrack:
DJ Bmazed • spinning grooves 4–6 PM
Linda & the Rebel Tones LIVE • bringing the vibe 6–8 PM
Added Bonus-this is my new band - a new vibe with songs in response to the chaos of the world - featuring Stu Greenspan on guitar, Michael Levin in reeds, Edo Castro on bass and Alpha Stuart on drums/percussion and me, Linda Solotaire on vocals.
Come early to dance, stay late to sing along, and connect with the rhythm of community.
Food & Drink
Delicious local eats and refreshments will be available throughout the evening—because nothing builds connection like sharing food, laughter, and stories.
Fun Activities for Kids & Grown-Ups
We’ve got something for everyone:
Pool 🎱
Ping-Pong 🏓
Crafts ✂️
Interactive art and creative spaces to play, connect, and create
Make New Friends & Learn Ways to Get Involved
Meet the incredible nonprofits who will be onsite—each offering ways to volunteer, donate, or simply learn how to be part of meaningful change.

Donate Stuff or Sign Up to Volunteer
Bring gently-used clothing, household goods, or non-perishable food items—or simply bring your willingness to help.
You’ll also find a service & skill exchange bulletin board, where neighbors can share what they can offer (like tutoring, translation, home repair, or cooking) or post what they need.
It’s all part of building a circular, caring economy—one that starts with us.
Why It Matters
In uncertain times, communities thrive when we show up for each other. The All Hands Party is a joyful, practical way to gather our collective energy and channel it through trusted, experienced organizations making a real difference every day.
As organizers Linda Solotaire (True Muse Inc.) and Jody & Tom Burke-Kaiser (The Print Shop) put it:
“We’re finding ways to work more collaboratively and pragmatically toward a more just society—starting in our own backyards.”
