Water Tower Place

Starting July 9, 2026, Water Tower Place will play host to <a href="https://www.citymarketirl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">City Market IRL</a>, a new evening market experience that blends local food, artisan vendors, live music and community gathering. 
Held weekly on Thursdays from 4-8 p.m. on Level 4 of the iconic Mag Mile shopping center, City Market IRL will feature live music and family-friendly community programming alongside more than 100 local vendors offering ready-to-eat dinner options, vintage and upcycled goods, and hand-crafted gifts. 
City Market IRL builds on the success of the annual Water Tower Place indoor winter market. Created in partnership with the <a href="https://www.southloopfarmersmarket.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">South Loop Farmers Market</a>, City Market IRL moves beyond the traditional market experience to curate an inviting “third space,” where visitors can connect, explore and experience the magic of summer in Chicago – together. 
“City Market IRL is about bringing people together through food, culture, creativity and shared experiences,” said Tina Feldstein, Co-Founder and Market Manager at the South Loop Farmers Market. “We’re creating a vibrant weekly gathering place where Chicagoans and visitors alike can spend an evening discovering local makers, enjoying great food and reconnecting with community.”
Like the winter market, City Market IRL will be both pet and family-friendly and will feature expanded seating and lounge-style gathering areas designed to encourage guests to relax, eat, connect and enjoy the atmosphere. 
Additional vendor announcements, programming details and partnership information will be shared in the coming weeks. For more information, please visit: <a href="https://www.citymarketirl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.citymarketirl.com/</a>

InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile by IHG

As a nod to the rich history of InterContinental Chicago, we're introducing a secret, off-menu cocktail experience during our ongoing Jazz Night pop-up in the lobby.
Join us every Thursday from 5–7 PM for live jazz, speakeasy-inspired cocktails, and a hidden surprise. Guests who discover the secret passcode—shared exclusively on social media and event flyers (shh... don't tell!)—will unlock access to a special off-menu cocktail inspired by one of the building's most fascinating historical details.
When the property opened in 1929, its 42nd floor was originally designed to serve as a docking station for airships, including the famed Zeppelins. This hidden cocktail pays tribute to that ambitious chapter of Chicago history with a drink as intriguing as the story behind it.
Come for the jazz, stay for the secret.
