March 7 @ West Town and Ukrainian Village

Also known as the Chicago Urban Shopping Cart Race, this fun run through Chicago’s West Town and Ukrainian Village takes place on the same day as the real Alaskan Iditarod, except this race consists of teams of five costumed people collecting food for charity, and every year is a blast.

March 7 & 8 @ 360 CHICAGO

Practice your sun salutations from 1,000 feet closer to the sun at 360 CHICAGO’s 94th-floor yoga class. 360 Sky Yoga welcomes yoga enthusiasts from all skill levels to a one-hour weekly class led by 360 CHICAGO’s professional instructor. Participants will be led through meditation and gentle flow movements to awaken the senses, stretches, breath-centered movements and morning sun salutations. Registration is $18 and includes a General Admission ticket to the observation deck, so feel free to stick around after the class and take in the amazing views! 360 Sky Yoga sells out every week because the class is crazy cheap and they’re kind of a big deal now, so be sure and register well in advance! Special sessions with guest instructors are held once per month.



Peach Presents: The Spot (Weekly Queer Hangout)

March 8 @ Elixir Andersonville

The Spot is a free, weekly hangout for LGBTQIA+ women, trans folks and non-binary folks every Sunday at Elixir Andersonville. The Spot features a curated dining and cocktail menu for purchase (including vegetarian/vegan options and mocktails) in a relaxed lounge atmosphere with big screens, the best local DJs bringing the good vibes, guest bartenders, and occasionally special viewings, hosts and performers.
