LEFT: Nothing like opening day of Wrigley's 100th anniversary season with Tim Smithe! With our guest of honor, Joan Rivers, on our way to celebrate her Michigan Avenue cover at Neiman Marcus. With wine icon Anthony Terlato and his granddaughter Jo at Terlato's headquarters, Tangley Oaks. We're a city steeped in tradition, from the raucous pageantry of opening day at Wrigley Field to the ceremonial pomp of dyeing the Chicago River kelly green on St. Patrick's Day—and that's just the month of March. With summer's long-awaited arrival, we're never left lacking in storied festivities celebrating Chicago. Now in its third year, Ashore Thing, our official Parade of Boats Viewing Party, presented by BMO Harris Bank, is well on its way to becoming one of Chicago's summer classics. On Saturday, July 19, at 10 AM, we'll toast the 106th Chicago Yacht Club Race to Mackinac with this celebration at the east end of Navy Pier, an event made possible with the generous support of our partners Belvedere Vodka, Celebrity Cruises, Coldwell Banker, Fiji Water, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, NBC 5 Chicago, Stella Artois, Spex, The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Toyota, and, of course, Veuve Clicquot! With 2,000 guests, it's our largest party of the year, and despite its scale and star power, Ashore Thing still feels like an intimate toast to summertime Chicago. Visit michiganavemag.com/ashorething for event information, photos, and to reserve your space. Complimentary admission is our gift to you. Lastly, I'm thrilled to have legendary painter Peter Max provide our Summer 2014 cover art, as well as that of our Niche Media sister publications. From now through August 6, each cover's original painting will be auctioned off at charitybuzz.com/nichemedia, with proceeds benefiting The Humane Society of the United States. The artwork is a departure from our usual celebrity covers—but isn't it fun to shake up tradition? Have a great summer!
