Go to Bounce Sporting Club for a Pink Winter Wonderland Pop Up

so when we found out there was going to be

a pink themed Christmas pop-up at Bounce Sporting Club,

Pink Winter Wonderland has the prettiest pink decorations that had

me wanting the decorator's number to come to my house.

Everywhere we turned, we saw the best photo opps of any pink lover's dream

so you already know we took lots of cute pictures.

but I had more than one of the mint to be cocktail because it was that good.

Pick an outfit and head to Pink Winter Wonderland pop up

ASAP with your besties before it ends on December 31st.

If you’re downtown and looking for a way to get some fresh air, you can take a walk through Maggie Daley Plaza. It’s a nice place to enjoy nature in the middle of the concrete jungle. Also, if it happens to be the 2nd Fridays of the month, you can visit the Fine Arts Building a few blocks away for Second Fridays where they open the building for you to see and hear from different artists for free! 

Nature & the Arts in the Loop

Enjoy a peaceful walk or outdoor activities like rock climbing and mini golf at Maggie Daley Park, a nature oasis in Chicago's downtown Loop.

Park Walk

💪 Pro tips
• There are additional paid activities that are opening back up for the spring/summer like rock climbing and mini golf if you want to plan ahead! 


Maggie Daley Park

Explore three floors of artist studios, performances, and music at Second Fridays in the Fine Arts Building, happening monthly in downtown Chicago. Free entry, creativity everywhere!

Art open studios

✅ Before you go
• You can RSVP ahead of time on their website, https://www.fineartsbuilding.com/events/second-fridays/  but it’s not required if you want to attend spontaneously. 
💪 Pro tips
• There are a wide range of artists here, so I’d recommend showing up closer to 5pm so you can have the full 4 hours to browse around and see (or hear) what you find! 


Second Fridays 

Apart from the hustle and bustle of downtown,

Taking a walk through the Maggie Daley Park is one way.

this park offers a great moment of tranquility.

It's not as big as Millennium Park or Grant Park,

but it allows you an opportunity to take in

the fresh air with a little less foot traffic.

If you find yourself downtown on the 2nd Friday of the month,

you can just take another 10 minute walk down Michigan Ave,

or through Grant Park and find the Fine Arts Building.

Here, you'll find their monthly event called Second Fridays,

where you have the opportunity to explore all 10 floors of

the history and art that lives in the Fine Arts building.

There is so much creativity and artistry that you can find at Second Fridays.

You'll find visual artists of every medium,

there is also a bookstore within the building that

you can buy books from up until 7 o'clock.

You never know what you'll find at Second Fridays. 

I stumbled upon a full stage play read while I was there.

So, I highly recommend making plans for the next Second Fridays at the Fine Arts building.
