Close out summer in true Chicago style with a night of house music, electric vibes and after-hours access beneath the waves. Dress for the heat — think bold, breezy and sun-soaked looks — and dance to sizzling sets from top Chicago DJs.
Cool off with refreshing bites, signature cocktails and unexpected aquatic moments throughout the night. Whether you’re chasing the last rays of summer or just here for the rhythm, this is your final splash of the season.
