Harry Caray’s Groundhog Day Celebration

Celebrate the 3rd Annual Harold Ramis Day on Monday, February 2 at 3:00 p.m. at Harry Caray’s on Navy Pier. After two years of Groundhog Day traditions, this year’s event flips the script with a Groundhog Day x National Lampoon’s Animal House crossover honoring the legendary filmmaker.

This year’s celebration welcomes cast members from Animal House, led by Tim “Otter” Matheson, who will serve as Master of Ceremonies. Joining him are James “Hoover” Widdoes, Peter “Boon” Riegert, Mark “Neidermeyer” Metcalf, James “Greg Marmalard” Daughton, and Martha “Babs” Smith. Together, they’ll bring the heroes and villains of Faber College’s Greek Row to Navy Pier—minus the risk of Double Secret Probation.

Also returning is Richard Henzel, beloved by fans as the voice of the “DJ” in Groundhog Day, and Chicago Harry the groundhog. Enjoy themed food and décor, photo ops, and special tributes to Ramis’ iconic career. Free and open to the public, togas optional.
