Hey Chicagoland Singles!
(To see the entire list of events, click here)
August is here! And coming off an incredible weekend in Chicagoland that included Lollapalooza, the new Spider-Man movie, and the Chicago Italian Beef Festival, people have been out and about.
However, if you are sad that you can’t be out and about today, fear not. Chicagoland’s singles event organizers have curated a whole bunch of events this week and throughout the rest of the month.
So, your out-and-about adventures can resume starting this evening.
We have local favorites returning, such as Meet IRL, Throwback Dating, and Hot Potato Hearts. And we have returning national favorites such as The City Social, EarlyBurdz, Thursday Dating, and Shuffle Dating. And so many other local and national faves returning for encores. So whether you want to salsa on the beach, check out art galleries, chill at rooftops or Irish pubs, or even stick with good ol’ reliable speed dating, Chicagoland has got you covered this week.
Oh, and your couch called again. It said it likes the new you, out and about.
Let’s jump into this week’s events!
