Is winter winding down? We hope so, though it means you might have to hurry to enjoy the BelAir Ice Bar before it melts. Meanwhile there are lots of late February events to warm you up, including a Hot Cocoa fundraiser, a performance by Weird Storm and a Pabst Brewery Neighborhood Virtual Tour.
Ongoing: Winter Chalets at South Shore Park
The winter chalets at South Shore Terrace in South Shore Park (2900 S. Shore Dr.) are open for reservation. This is the county’s first winter beer garden season. The chalets can fit up to six people and there is nearby fire for warming up. Up to six people from the same household or two people from different households can share a chalet for $75, which includes a $50 food and beverage credit and a 90 minute time slot. The chalets are reservations only, and are available
