Chicago is rolling out the red carpet for the first-ever "Groundhog Day movie cast reunion," set to honor the late Harold Ramis and the enduring legacy of the 1993 classic flick. The event, as reported by NBC Chicago, is slated for Feb. 2 and will take place at Harry Caray's Tavern on Navy Pier, transforming the locale into a Groundhog Day fantasy itself.

In what can only to described as a nostalgic turn of events, at least seven members of the original cast are scheduled to show up. This includes hometown favorites like Brian Doyle Murray, who played Mayor Buster Green, and Stephen Tobolowsky, the man behind the infamously annoying Ned Ryerson, according to NBC Chicago. The festivities plan to feature everything from the film's iconic ice sculptures down to movie-inspired grub, with even the jumpsuits from "Ghostbusters" on display for good measure.

The bash doesn't just stop at Navy Pier, though. The whole area is getting in on the action. Navy Pier's Sable Hotel is even changing its name to "Pennsylvanian Hotel" for a day, as a tip of the hat to the movie. And in a fitting tribute to the late director, a City of Chicago proclamation is set to declare Harold Ramis Day, NBC Chicago notes. With all eyes on the clock for that all-important weather prediction, who better than "Chicago Harry," a live groundhog, to do the honors.

The reunion also serves to mark the 10th anniversary of Harold Ramis's passing. Ramis's famed contributions to cinema as co-writer and director of "Groundhog Day" are well-documented, with classics like "Ghostbusters" also burnishing his legacy. According to the Chicago Tribune, Groundhog Day itself will turn Chicago into a shadow-searching, prediction-making epicenter with a ceremony led by Brian Doyle-Murray and a potential surprise visit from none other than Bill Murray himself. As always, Murray's plans remain as unpredictable as spring weather, but hopes are as high as ever for a cameo.

Meanwhile, the Tribune gives an intimate glimpse into the lives of those who knew Ramis best, with accounts straight from family members, including his daughter Violet Ramis Stiel, author of "Ghostbuster's Daughter: Life with My Dad, Harold Ramis." Through the years, Woodstock, Illinois, the film's shooting location, has held its own as a "Groundhog Day" mecca, with the town's yearly celebrations ingrained as a local tradition. Yet, it's the human connection—like Ramis and Bill Murray's eventual reconciliation—underpinning it all, proving the movie's magic lies not just in its comedic timing but in its messy, real-life stories.
