About the event
MURPH Festival 2026 is coming to Chicago for Memorial Day weekend!
A full day of music, food, fitness, vendors, and community all in one place. We are bringing together veterans, families, students, first responders, and neighbors to celebrate, connect, and honor those who gave everything.
And for those ready to test themselves... the MURPH challenge is waiting for you.
Inspired by Lt. Michael P. Murphy, the Murph workout is one of the most respected fitness challenges out there. Take it on individually or grab a team. Scaled options available for all fitness levels. Show up and earn it.
More details on tickets, vendors, sponsors, and the full event schedule are coming soon. For now, save your spot and be the first to know when registration opens.
