July 1

The Occasion: The premiere sports resort, Midtown Athletic Club, threw a pre-July 4 celebration poolside at their Bannockburn location, where the direction for attire was simple: wear white.

The Highlights: An ultra-chic sushi bar with two sushi chefs offered up the latest in cuisine, a DJ from Music by Revelation Productions spun the hottest tunes, and sleek cocktail bars by Pure Wine of Chicago kept the party going into the night.

The End Result: More than 625 members and their guests enjoyed a beautiful evening with friends, proving once again Midtown’s reputation for creative and festive events. midtown.com
