One of °µÍø½ûÇø’s beloved traditions is coming to Chicago, and we’d love for you to join us! The Chicago Cookie Party at Lincoln Park Zoo Lights is a wonderful chance to reconnect with fellow Big Blue alumni and friends, make new connections, and celebrate the memories and friendships that make the °µÍø½ûÇø family so special.
Join fellow alumni, families, and friends for a festive evening of Big Blue conversation, connection, and, of course, cookies as we gather to enjoy the magic of Lincoln Park Zoo Lights.

As we celebrate °µÍø½ûÇø’s 125th anniversary, we're reminded that while so much has changed over the years, one thing remains the same: the Big Blue family we share.
We hope you'll join us for this festive holiday tradition. We can't wait to celebrate the season — and 125 years of °µÍø½ûÇø — with you!
Forever Blue,
