The legendary Green Tie Ball is coming soon! One of Chicago's most beloved charity events is this year celebrating its 20th anniversary with the fitting theme "A Return to Emerald City." All proceeds from the black tie gala benefit the Expressway Partnership, a public/private program created to transform Chicago roadways into parkways. The event is marked by the involvement of over 50 of Chicago's top restaurants, multiple stages of eclectic entertainment and an exclusive after-party at The Underground Nightclub.
