Chicago's Best Sunset Rooftop Party | Memorial Day Weekend

Chicago's hottest rooftop party returns in Memorial Day Weekend! After a sold-out season last summer. Highline is back and going bigger and better than ever for the official start of summer.

On May 24th, we're taking over The J. Parker rooftop and turning it into Chicago's best Memorial Day Weekend event.

With a retractable rooftop, unmatched sunset views over Lincoln Park & Lake Michigan, and a curated crowd. This will be the spot to be.

This isn’t just drinks on a roof with a DJ. We’re bringing in full production and over-the-top activations:

What to Expect

🎧 Stacked DJ Line Up (7 Top DJs | Expect house, remixes, mashups, and throwbacks)

🥃 Complementary Shot/Margarita Tastings (for first 2 hrs of event - provided by Rosaluna Tequila)

It starts with golden hour, then when the sun goes down, the lights come on and the rooftop flips into a full nightlife experience. This isn’t just another night out. It’s skyline views, high-energy music, and peak "Summertime Chi", on one of the best rooftops in the city.

Don’t miss it. Tickets are tiered, once a tier sells out, prices go up. Buy now for the best price.
