Well HELLO new year! It’s an entire new decade. I just attended one of my favorite events that starts the year off right, the media preview for the First Look For Charity Gala at the Chicago Auto Show. Always a great way to see what restaurants are making this year. Taste food from 150 chefs all in one night! Get your tickets here!
I’ve been blessed the past several years to be able to attend both media days at the Chicago Auto Show and the First Look For Charity Gala. Being raised to give back to the community through volunteering, First Look For Charity is one my absolute favorite events.
Not only does it allow you to see the auto show in your favorite party gown (oh and I’ve worn a full ball gown in the past) but it supports 18 amazing local charities. Purchasing a ticket to First Look gives back to the community in so many ways. While also giving you a chance to win this year’s raffle prize of a 2020 Ford Explorer ST!! I mean how can you pass up a chance like that?
This year over 150 chefs are making 80+ bites for attendees to nosh on while getting a chance to check out their dream cars on the floor of the Chicago Auto Show. There is no better way to experience the Chicago Auto Show. Enjoy delicious food and beverages all around the best new cars. Plus over the years First Look For Charity has raised over $53 million for local charities. Each year this night continues to raise almost $2.5 million.
Thanks to the media preview, I’ve already got some favorites like Vanille’s macarons. A tradition featuring the auto show logo and classic cars . There’s just something about a macaron that makes me incredibly happy and Vanille pulls out all the stops to make these special for the Chicago Auto Show. There are many new featured restaurants this year including RPM on the Water and Rock Bottom Brewery. Don’t miss out on the most fabulous party of the year!
