A Frighteningly Good Time Awaits You

Last year's Eerie Evening goers listen to a chilling Chicago story.

Do not fear, just creep, crawl, and have a ball at the 3rd Annual Eerie Evening, a frighteningly festive fundraiser for our McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum. On Friday October 18, from 7 to 10 p.m., join Friends of the Chicago River at our Bridgehouse Museum on Chicago’s Riverwalk for all-inclusive party with local drinks from Two Brothers Brewery, fare, entertainment, and bone-chilling stories of Chicago’s past.

Get your tickets now.

Have fun and haunt the halls of our 104-year-old landmark, five-story Bridgehouse while raising money for the protection and restoration of the 156-mile Chicago-Calumet River system. Guests will venture through the Bridgehouse Museum to hear true and sometimes dark stories of Chicago’s eerie past, and enjoy refreshments and entertainment on our Riverwalk plaza. Eerie Evening tricks and treats are open to those 21 years and older.

Tickets are $60 and include refreshments as well as a Chorus Frog Membership for Friends of the Chicago River. For more information about the 3rd Annual Eerie Evening, including inquiries about sponsorship, please contact Museum Director, Josh Coles
