France at Cantigny
For Cantigny, the connection to France runs deep. The park is named for the French village and battle site where Col. McCormick joined in the first American victory in World War I as a member of the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division.
Big plans with a French twist are taking shape in 2024. Visit Cantigny for an exciting season filled with new experiences and the return of popular events. The “France at Cantigny” theme will weave through the gardens and grounds as well. Learn more about our 2024 signature events and exhibits below.
