More than 500 guests are expected to gather at the Obama Presidential Center for the celebration, which will include performances by Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen and Jennifer Hudson, among others.

The opening ceremony of Obama’s presidential museum is not an official 250th anniversary event but many see it as a way to get into the spirit of America’s milestone birthday.

Christina Aguilera, Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, U2's Bono and the Edge, Eddie Vedder and Bruce Springsteen are among the musicians scheduled to take the stage celebrating the opening of the Obama Presidential Center’s Grand Opening Ceremony in Chicago's South Side.
