Last updated: February 8, 2023

Summer is for outdoor partying.

Well, duh. That’s the best part of the warmer months, isn’t it? There are a lot of factors to consider though, like with any other venue, like food and theme, but outdoors can also mean watching the unpredictable weather. But not to worry; if all goes according to plan, then these Outdoor Party Venues in Chicago will be a smashing success. Just maybe keep bug spray handy.

Maggie Daley Park

This 20-acre public park in the Loop community area near the Lake Michigan shoreline hosts a vast array of activities for outdoor adventures – a climbing wall, mini golf, rollerblading, picnic groves, tennis courts, beautiful gardens and a skating rink for colder months if you want to brave the chill. If you have something in mind for more than a picnic and mini golf, you can apply for permits and rentals to set up tents and tables and the whole shebang.
