Had a late night? A little hungover? Don’t mind some hair of the dog in with your morning cure?<\/p>\n

Nothing like a Bloody Mary.<\/p>\n

On October 20, Chicago’s annual Bloody Mary Fest returns to Theater On the Lake in Lincoln Park<\/a> for one of the booziest events of the season! Following a string of Oktoberfest extravaganzas and drinking all the beer your stomach can hold, it’s time to get something a little stronger in your system.<\/p>\n

From 8:30 \u2013 11 am, there will be pre-festival activities for you to indulge in prior to getting trashed, like finding your flow at morning yoga or a taking a quick run along the lakefront. If you purchase the Yoga Package<\/a> or\u00a0Run Package<\/a>, you can take advantage of a 60-minute session or 5k route, complimentary mimosas and Bloody Marys, tasty brunch bites, a bomb goodie bag, admission to the Artisan Market, and more amazing giveaways, all for just $35. I mean, could it get any better?<\/p>\n

Once the festivities are in full swing from 12 \u2013 4 pm, you can judge the Bloody Mary competition to determine who makes the best cocktail (by taste-testing it, obviously) and visit the artisan market<\/a> to take home something uniquely made by local Chicago artists. Enjoy the live entertainment and lawn games and make sure to stop by for a photo-op to get your good side on camera. You know what they say: pics or it didn’t happen.<\/p>\n

General admission tickets<\/a> for the festival from 12 – 4 pm currently cost $50. If you wanted to get there early for both a morning exercise session and the full festival, purchase a day package<\/a> for $80, which knocks off a couple of bucks for you. A ticket includes sampling the seven bloodies in the main competition, two full drinks, a voting ticket for People’s Choice Award, delicious bites to eat, and access to the Artisan Market and games. A percentage of the proceeds go to Bloody Mary Fest’s partner, K9 4Keeps<\/a>.<\/p>\n
