As we enter the final few months of summer, we can’t help but wonder what will happen to our outdoor events in Chicago. The city has relied on outdoor spaces to get us through the worst of the pandemic, but the cold is coming, as you all know, which might make it harder to have a safe, social experience. Granted, more all-season patios are opening up to accommodate restaurant customers who aren’t ready to gather indoors, and drive-in theaters, watch parties, and even a floating cinema are all popping up to ensure a fun time while social distancing. But we needed something more stable, long-lasting, and honestly, with more variety. Enter Green Curtain Events, a Chicago events organizer with a brilliant idea to keep people entertained in a safe, structured way.
Summer 101, and soon to be Fall 202, is a series of social events in Chicago presented by White Claw that is committed to safely bringing entertainment to the good people of Chicago. You and a small batch of friends can experience the city through watch parties, tasting experiences, light shows, happy hours, cooking demos, and so much more, all season long. This might sound too good to be true, but believe it. Last weekend, they hosted a Lollapalooza Watch Party at Parlay at JOY District, but that was just the beginning. Summer 101 is a safe way to get together with friends in your own private space at Chicago bars and restaurants. Here’s just a taste of what you can expect:
