Join us Thursday, October 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. for an unforgettable evening cruising through downtown Chicago with festive entertainment, drinks, and tasty hors d'oeuvres – all while supporting two decades of the Bridgehouse Museum connecting people to the Chicago-Calumet River system.
As the cultural anchor of the Chicago Riverwalk, the Bridgehouse Museum welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each season to explore exhibits about the history and future of the Chicago-Calumet River system. The museum presents an arc of history that stretches from the river’s role in Indigenous trade and settlement, to Chicago’s growth and the pollution that followed, to the innovative solutions that helped transform the river, and today’s movement toward a healthy, biodiverse, climate-resilient waterway. Read more about the history of the museum in the Spring/Summer edition of the River Reporter.
Autumn Cruise tickets are $100 or $95 each when purchasing multiple tickets. Reserve your spot today. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for organizations and individuals who want to support this special celebration. Contact Annie Hanrahan at (312) 939-0490, ext. 19 or ahanrahan@chicagoriver.org.
If you can’t attend the Autumn Cruise, you can still unlock the match opportunity by making a gift to the Bridgehouse Museum.
