Young people are craving connection now more than ever, and one of Chicago’s hottest new event series is creating a community one rooftop party at a time. “My business partner and I recognized that there is a large demand for fun, experiential events [in Chicago],” says Highline Chicago co-owner Carter Nolan. Thus, Highline Chicago was created.

The pop-up party series is coming to the rooftop at Time Out Market in the West Loop, with a roster of activations to boot: more than six DJs, an espresso martini ice luge, complimentary tequila tastings, a photo station and more. “We hope people have the type of experience they can’t find at a typical bar, venue or anywhere else in Chicago,” Nolan adds. “Our goal is to build a community with lots of recurring guests and leave every attendee with a positive impression. We want our community and guests to know that when they buy tickets to an event produced by our group, it will meet a certain level of experience every time.”

As for the future of Highline’s programming, Nolan says, “We have a lot in the works and are planning on expanding beyond this rooftop series.” One-off themed events and additional series are on the horizon. Follow their Instagram and TikTok (@highline.chicago) for the latest.
Highline Chicago will be at the Time Out Market on Saturday, September 6, from 4-11pm and Saturday, September 20, from 3-10pm. You can buy tickets here.
