The Chicago Historical Costume Society invites Chicago Art Deco Society Members to a Celebration of its 5th Anniversary.

In celebration of the 5th Anniversary of the Chicago Historical Costume Society, join us for an afternoon of elegance at the storied Palm Court of The Drake Hotel.

Attire: The Drake first opened its doors in 1920, and we invite you to dress in the spirit of the decade. Don your finest 1920s attire and step into the golden age of the tea party. (Need inspiration? Browse our Pinterest board.)

Group Reservations: Table bundles are available for those who wish to reserve seats together.

The Tea Service: Your afternoon begins with a leisurely perusal of the Palais de Thés menu, featuring seventeen exceptional blends — from time-honoured classics such as English Breakfast and Earl Grey, to more inspired selections like the Mélange du Cap, a sophisticated union of cocoa nibs and vanilla pods over a delicate rooibos base.

Tea is presented in individual teapots and accompanied by the traditional three-tiered tray, appointed with:

• Gourmet artisanal finger sandwiches

• Fresh-baked breads and scones

• Dainty petit fours

Served alongside house-made preserves, lemon curd, and English double Devon cream. Please note your dietary restrictions when you purchase your ticket.

Yesterday was International Jazz Day and Chicago is hosting events this weekend for the International event. So it was fitting to have a Jazz night last night.

Green Mill was hopping. So many young people. It's great to see a younger generation enjoying Jazz and dance.
