About us
WINDY CITY DADS is a diverse and welcoming community for Chicago-land fathers living in the city and suburbs. We believe in active parenting, shared experiences and building a supportive network. Whether you are a new dad or seasoned pro, join us as we navigate fatherhood together.
Please note: this group is strictly for Dads, we understand sometimes wives will join for their significant others but we encourage all fathers to join our group on their own accord, it takes few minutes to setup their own meetup profile. We want this group to be a comfortable place for all Dads to learn and talk about anything dad related.
Our Windy City Dads Group is FREE to join and attend meetup events. Some meetups will have a cost to participate but everyone can pay their own way is what we found out works the best.

As our community grows, so does our impact. To keep our core membership free and accessible to every dad in Chicago, we are moving toward a "Support the Crew" model. Every shirt, hoodie, or mug you buy directly funds our meetup expenses, operating expenses, and community events.
Why grab a shirt?
• Stand Out: Our sponsors love seeing a sea of Windy City Dads gear at our exclusive screenings. It helps us secure even bigger perks for you.
• The Dad Uniform: It makes finding the group at a crowded park or restaurant a breeze.
• Quality: We didn't just slap a logo on a cheap tee; these are built for the "dad life."
For those who want to go the extra mile without the gear, you can become an Official Group Supporter below.
Our goal is to keep membership dues at $0. By rocking our gear and supporting the store, you’re ensuring we stay one of the largest, most active dad communities in the city that we love. Let’s show Chicago who we are!
For those of you on social media, we also ask that you share your evebt engagement photos on your personal accounts like Facebook taging our "Windy City Dads" so we can engage share, like and comment, which will help broaden our social media reach in an effort to expand our audience and ultimately get more members to join our meetup group. By doing so will help us get more sponsored event opportunities. You can also follow us on Instagram and TicTok @WindyCityDads
FYI ~ When you 1st join and setup your Meetup profile (or if you reinstall Meetup on your device), please note you will be asked by Meetup to pay $9.99/month to upgrade to "Meetup+". You do NOT need to pay for this, because our group is FREE. When this offer from Meetup pops up, just hit the X in the top corner to decline it.
