Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Senator Dick Durbin will also attend the event. The location has not been publically announced.
During his visit to Chicago, Biden will also attend a fundraiser and give a speech at the University of Chicago's Institute of Politics, helmed by Barack Obama's former political mastermind David Axelrod.
