There's no better way to kick-off the New Year in Chicago than on a beach in the middle of winter- but that's exactly what you can do with the Corona Extra Beach House at Chi-Town Rising.
Chi-Town Rising is offering the opportunity for Chicagoans to experience what it's like walking into a Miami beach club. The Crystal Ballroom inside the Hyatt Regency Chicago has been completely transformed into a one-of-a-kind beach environment.
Here are five things to know about the Corona Extra Beach House that is coming to Chicago for its second year.
