What To Expect

Join us for a celebration on the Chicago River — cocktails, dessert, and city views aboard the First Lady. Think polished but relaxed: a date night out in the city. Jackets strongly recommended. Temperatures around 60°F, so layers are a good idea.

The First Lady departs at 7:15 PM — please plan to arrive a little early so no one gets left at the dock.
