Firework weekend - woo! 🎇

Melissa Etheridge and Indigo Girls are rolling through Chicago, and we’re making it a full-blown queer rock staycation. Enter to win a pair of tickets to Melissa Etheridge and Indigo Girls at Millennium Park and a one-night stay at the Kimpton Gray Hotel.*

FOURTH OF JULY EVENTS

Your grill’s not the only thing heating up. We rounded up the wildest, weirdest, and most firework-worthy happenings across Chicago so you don’t have to doomscroll through ten tabs. Parades? Parties? Patriotic chaos? It’s all here—minus the burnt hot dogs.

GARDENISTA PRESENTS:

EASY TO DRINK, HARD TO FORGET

We made a cocktail so good, so you don’t have to. Gardenista delivers bar-quality flavor without the mess or the effort. Just pour and enjoy! Whether you’re hosting friends, lounging poolside or kicking back after a long day. Crafted with premium spirits and natural ingredients, each bottle serves five perfectly balanced cocktails, all at just 98 calories a pour. No prep. No stress. Just really good drinks.*

COMING UP

7.12 - 7.13 - SOUTHPORT ART FEST

Every Sat - GUMS THE MUSICAL

🌭 Fourth of July Fuel at Broken Shaker 🌭

Chicago Dog? Check. Ice-cold Miller High Life? You know it.

Swing by Broken Shaker all weekend for an All-American snack break — we’re talkin’ Vienna Beef, poppy seed buns, relish, peppers, the works. Pair it with the Champagne of Beers and soak up that sweet long-weekend energy.*
