Vice President Kamala Harris is set to formally accept the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday night in the final installment of the 2024 Democratic National Convention (DNC) that’s being held at the United Center in Chicago.

The much anticipated moment follows a week of celebrating Joe Biden’s presidency while also crediting him for stepping aside to allow Harris an opportunity to run for president — a decision that has upended the polling trajectory of the 2024 election in the vice president’s favor.

Keep reading to find livestream options for how to watch online Vice President Kamala Harris’ speech accepting the Democratic presidential nomination at the DNC.

The DNC has been a veritable party, no pun intended, with a steady parade of everyone from folks up and down the Democratic Party’s ranks, Hollywood A-listers, pop music superstars and everyday citizens tapped by the Harris campaign to participate.

Aside from the celebratory aspect of the Democratic National Convention, some of the most pressing issues facing the U.S. have been front and center. That was particularly true on Wednesday night when the daily theme of the DNC was “A Fight for Our Freedoms” — a nod to Project 2025, the Republican-led plan that Democrats say will reduce civil liberties and freedoms.

On Thursday, the DNC’s theme is fittingly “For Our Future,” an obvious nod to Harris’ candidacy and the expectations that she will beat Donald Trump and become the next — or, future — president.

The contents of Harris’ acceptance speech were not revealed ahead of her appearance on Thursday night. However, on the heels of her speech earlier this month laying out her plan for the economy, there is a good chance that Harris will at least address some other element of her planned presidential platforms that she will prioritize should she win the 2024 election in November and advance to the White House.

Thursday is also the 10th wedding anniversary of Harris’ marriage to second gentleman Doug Emhoff, making the day all that much more special.

Aside from Harris’ speech, there is plenty more to look forward to at the DNC Thursday night.

That includes an unverified report quickly gaining steam on social media that the Queen B herself — pop superstar Beyoncé — will make an appearance. If that happens, it would only add to the established star power that’s been on display at the DNC thus far, including Oprah Winfrey, former President Barack Obama and our Forever First Lady Michelle Obama on Wednesday night. There’s also a rumor that all-world singer Taylor Swift may be on the schedule.

Here’s who is for sure confirmed to appear:

Texas Rep. and U.S. Senate candidate Colin Allred
Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin
Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper
Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost
Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego
Former Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a gun control activist and notable shooting survivor
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey
Arizona Sen, Mark Kelly
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican who has criticized Trump
Georgia Rep. Lucy McBath
Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse
California Sen. Alex Padilla
Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
The Tennessee 3 – State Reps. Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin J. Pearson, who were notably expelled last year for demanding gun control following a mass shooting in Nashville

Who else will be there?
