Days Left to get Onboard Our Fall Cruise

We are only days away from our 10th Annual Autumn Cruise to benefit the education and public outreach programs of our McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum. Join us on Wednesday, September 27, from 6 – 8 p.m. to celebrate the landmark five-story Bridgehouse Museum in style and cruise the river among the glistening Chicago skyline.

The spectacular evening on the river includes hors d’oeuvres from Lawrence’s Fish & Shrimp and Azul Mariscos, drinks from Molson Coors and Olé & Obrigado, live music, and festive guests.

The Bridgehouse Museum is one of Friends' most public facing attractions and welcomes tens of thousands of visitors every season to explore the history and future of the Chicago-Calumet River system. 

Your support benefits important programming at the Bridgehouse Museum such as educational field trips for students to learn about the river’s ecology and history.

Support for the museum also keeps it moving forward as the single cultural experience along the thriving Chicago Riverwalk. And, as the only Chicago bridgehouse open to the public, students and visitors also have the exclusive opportunity to see up close the massive gears and counterweight system that still move the 103-year-old DuSable Bridge.

Tickets are $100 per person. To join our partnering organizations in sponsoring this high profile event, contact Bridgehouse Museum Director Josh Coles at jcoles@chicagoriver.org.
