ComEd and the Chicago Park District celebrated the 11th annual Switch on Summer, which kicked off the start of summer in Chicago by officially switching on the iconic Buckingham Foundation for the season last Saturday. This free event also marked the start of the 12th annual Chicago Park District’s Night Out in the Parks series and included performances by Night Out in the Parks artists, as well as opportunities to learn more about ComEd customer programs. Several of ComEd’s arts and cultural partners joined the celebration to offer interactive and educational activities. ComEd CEO Gil Quiniones, Chicago Park District General Superintendent & CEO Carlos Ramirez-Rosa, and other city officials ahead of the 2025 Switch on Summer customer contest winner, Mary Zhou switching on Buckingham Fountain for the summer delivered remarks.
