Chicago’s Labor Day celebrations have summer going out on a high note
Ready for the holiday? Chicago’s Labor Day Celebrations will make you wish that summer fun would last a couple more weekends.
Labor Day celebrations might mark the unofficial end of summer, but that doesn’t mean the parties are low-key. Chicago is ready to make this holiday weekend a festive one. From lakefront hot spots to rooftop parties, these Labor Day specials will make you wish that fall would never come.
Here are some of FoodSided’s suggestions for Labor Day celebrations in Chicago.
AIRE
Located on the 24th floor of the Hyatt Centric The Loop Chicago, the breathtaking views are matched with stunning cocktails and delicious bites. On Sunday, September 2, groups of six or more will be treated to complimentary champagne toasts. Let’s all raise a glass to those great summer moments.
ROOF on theWit
If you didn’t get to jet off for the holiday weekend, feel like you did at ROOF on theWit. When you step into this paradise, it appears as if you’ve jetted off to Tahiti. Drinks, bites and music. On September 1, DJ Vinny Ventiera (The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise) will be setting the mood with music. Who needs a 10 hour plane ride when you can have the French Polynesian Island in Chicago?
