Celebrating seventeen years of culture, connection, and unforgettable experiences, Kevin and Melzie, a healthcare executive and a seasoned social services professional, proudly present the 17th Annual Air & Water Show Charitable Day Party. United by a shared passion for bringing people together, they have built one of Chicago’s most anticipated summer traditions.

This year’s edition of Crème de la Crème transforms the iconic Harris Theater Millennium Park into one of Chicago’s premier summer destinations. Guests will experience all three levels inside the Harris Theater along with the largest rooftop tent ever built on the terrace, creating a one-of-a-kind atmosphere overlooking Millennium Park.

The afternoon and evening will feature a live performance by acclaimed R&B artist Carl Thomas, with sounds orchestrated by Sean Mac & Joe Global, Pharris, Protege, B-Syde, Sabado and KMBRK®, delivering the soundtrack for one of the most anticipated gatherings of the summer.

Guests will enjoy an array of exceptional food, elevated vibes, and an atmosphere that brings together Chicago’s influential and diverse social scene. Throughout the venue, attendees will also have an opportunity to discover and support several outstanding local community nonprofits that are making a meaningful impact across the city.

For seventeen years, the Air & Water Day Party has been about style and execution. This year’s theme calls for Summer Fashionable SHADES OF CREAM, creating an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere worthy of the occasion.
