Welcome to spring, Chicago — and with the equinox comes the chance to see one of Chicago’s most talked about phenomenons: Chicagohenge.
“Chicagohenge” occurs twice a year — on the autumnal equinox and the vernal equinox — when the rising and setting of the sun align perfectly with the city’s east-west grid. The Adler Planetarium described the moment as “the time of year when nature and architecture harmoniously come together.”
“Chicago’s streets line up almost perfectly with the cardinal east and west directions on a compass,” a blog from the Adler said. “This in turn, sets up the perfect stage for Chicagohenge to take place.”
Spring officially starts at 9:46 a.m. Friday. Chicagohenge will be visible before and after that, NBC 5 Storm Team Meteorologist Alicia Roman said, at sunrise and sunset, on the following days and times:
Friday, March 20, 2026: Sunrise at 6:53 am and sunset at 7:02 pmSaturday, March 21, 2026: Sunrise at 6:51 am and sunset at 7:03 pmSunday, March 22, 2026: Sunrise at 6:50 am and sunset at 7:05 pmMonday, March 23, 2026: Sunrise at 6:48 am and sunset at 7:06 pm
