Out of all the festivals we cover on Chicago Genie (believe me, there are a LOT), none of them have an impact on as many service men and women or their families as Clark After Dark. We have soldiers fighting every day so that we can even attend events like this, which is why we can\u2019t stress enough how happy we are to lend our support to the USO of Illinois for this River North celebration.<\/p>\n
What to Expect<\/strong><\/p>\n Basically, Clark after Dark is a huge block party right in the heart of River North. This means live music performances from Chicago\u2019s top cover band, 16 Candles, and Liquidated Damages. Plus, food and drink specials, a raffle, and (hopefully) beautiful weather.<\/p>\n How Does It Benefit Our Troops?<\/strong><\/p>\n With a suggested donation of $10, the proceeds benefit the USO of Illinois, a non-profit organization fully supported by the generosity of the American people. Their programs serve over 330,000 military personnel and their families in Illinois.<\/p>\n Want to donate more? You could buy an exclusive VIP ticket<\/a> online for $100 and enjoy some extra food & drink, volunteer for this or their other events, or make a donation. All of the charity\u2019s information on getting involved is available on their official site.<\/a><\/p>\n When and Where Is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Clark After Dark takes place on Thursday, August 20th<\/sup> from 4pm-10pm on Hubbard Street between Clark & LaSalle.<\/p>\n
