Mark your calendar for the Friends of the Chicago River's Summer Cruise on Wednesday, June 28, 2017, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. For the first time, we journey northbound past the North Avenue bridge to feature speaker pop ups on the new Riverwalk, urban design, transitions between industry and recreation. As such, this year's theme is "It's a New River". With food, open bar, and a surprise performance, Friends' Summer Cruise is generously sponsored by Presenting Sponsors PepsiCo and the Wendella Sightseeing Company, and benefits Friends' McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum.
