Some of Chicago's greatest summer pleasures — al fresco drinking, fresh produce and outdoor games — come together at The Hideout on Wednesday nights with Veggie Bingo.
Why it matters: The summertime tradition offers wholesome midweek fun and raises money for local gardens.
How it works: Advance tickets get you admission and a bingo card for $10. Players can buy additional cards, as well as Vienna Beef hot dogs, when they get there.
- Participants play on outside picnic tables while celebrity callers announce the bingo numbers, often using clever wordplay.
The prizes: Local vendors donate various foodie prizes with a jackpot of fresh produce from a local garden.
If you go: Veggie Bingo starts at 6pm every Wednesday through Aug. 30.
