What Is 312 Day?

March 12 marks a celebration of all things Chicago, paying tribute to the city’s most iconic area code. Originally introduced in 1947 as Chicago’s sole area code, 312 remains a symbol of the city’s identity, deeply rooted in its history, music, sports, and streetwear culture.

Wieners Circle Event – Free Admission

At 3:12 p.m. on March 12, Do312 will host a free event at The Wieners Circle, 2622 N. Clark St. The celebration will feature performances from Chicago Bulls DJ and local favorites DJ Ca$h Era and DJ Prosperity Room.

Attendees can enjoy $3.12 hot dogs, $3.12 Goose Island beers, specials from WYNK, and whiskey sampling from Keeper’s Heart Whiskey.
