Who said Sundays have to be scary? With event series Sundays Are For Lovers, Chicagoan Matthew Brooks is reimagining the traditional Sunday Funday. As he says, “Sundays Are For Lovers is a celebration for the grown-up and sexy.” This weekend, the function is taking over Time Out Market’s rooftop at 916 W Fulton Market on August 31.

These popular day parties offer a space for R&B fans to connect, dance and revel in smooth tunes played by some of the city’s hottest DJs. “The name Sundays Are For Lovers came to me in a conversation I was having with a friend,” Brooks shares. “They said there were no feel-good parties on Sundays. At that moment, I felt like I had to create a vibe for people who love the genre.”

R&B music in every form, from beloved classics to totally fresh tracks, sets the mood for a swoonworthy evening. “I hope people walk away from Sundays Are For Lovers falling in love again and remember how it felt to have butterflies in your stomach, singing your favorite R&B songs at the top of your lungs without a care in the world,” Brooks says. “You can expect a damn good time from some of the best DJs in the city. Period.”
The party kicks off at 4pm on Sunday, August 31. You can purchase tickets and make bottle service reservations here.
