The Bailliage’s 2017 National Grand Chapitre will take place in Chicago, Illinois.

Third-largest city in the USA, Chicago has also been called a global architecture capital. In terms of wealth and economy, it is considered one of the most important business centres in the world.

The city's waterfront location and nightlife attract residents and tourists alike.

Chicago lays claim to a large number of regional specialties that reflect the city's ethnic and working-class roots. Included among these is its renowned deep-dish pizza. At the other end of the gastronomic spectrum, restaurants in Chicago currently have 35 Michelin stars awarded. Such recognition of quality has led to the city being described as the “most exceptional dining destination” in the USA.
