🎶🌇 Summertime Music, Drinks, Riverwalk & Fireworks on the Riverwalk! 🎆🍹

Back by popular demand — and we're trying again after our first attempt was canceled due to rain! 🌧️☀️

Celebrate a beautiful summer Wednesday along Chicago's lakefront! Join us for a relaxed evening of food, drinks, live music, waterfront views, great conversation, and Chicago's spectacular Wednesday night fireworks.

We'll begin at Chicago Brewhouse, then explore Navy Pier and portions of the nearby Chicago Riverwalk.

Depending on the group's mood, weather, and crowds, we may stop at a few nearby bars, patios, or cafés before finding the perfect spot to watch the fireworks over Lake Michigan.

This isn't a bar crawl where everyone has to drink — grab dinner, appetizers, dessert, coffee, a cocktail, mocktail, or simply enjoy the walk and great company. Whether you stay at one location or join us as we wander, it's a fun way to experience a summer evening downtown!

👥 Multi-meetup event — expect a lively group!
