Join VC Chicago this May in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month for a relaxed outdoor gathering centered on connection, community, and taking a moment to pause.

This will be a low-key space to step away from the day-to-day, enjoy good food, and spend time with fellow creatives in a welcoming, supportive environment. We’ll have a small assortment of food available and a few light activities, but you’re also welcome to bring food or drinks to share.

We can’t control the weather, so BYOP (bring your own poncho) and bring whatever you need to feel good — snacks, drinks, a blanket, birdwatching binoculars, good vibes. Whether you come to unwind, meet new people, or simply get some fresh air, all are welcome!
