Chicago Scene Boat Party Weekend 2019 Join us Sat July 27, 2019 for a weekend filled with music and entertainment at Lake Michigan.

In 2001 Chicago Scene founder Ted Widen gathered a small group of friends and their boats together and headed out to the “Playpen,” a breakwall protected area that fronts Lake Shore Drive & the Chicago water filtration plant.

This was the birth of the “Chicago Scene Boat Party,” an annual event that is now the largest on Lake Michigan.
