About this Event
The holidays are better when we spend them together! This year, Second City Gaming is kicking off a new tradition with our First Annual Friendsgiving, and you're invited!
We know the holiday season can feel a little lonely, especially if you're far from family, new to Chicago, or simply looking for a place to belong. That's why we're bringing our gaming community together for an evening of delicious food, laughter, friendship, and, of course, video games!
This event is hosted exclusively at the home of Jonny and Candelario Saldana, we are excited to welcome you to the home of SCG's Founder!
Whether you've been part of SCG since day one or this is your very first event, you're welcome here. Come as you are, bring your appetite, and leave with some new friends!
What's on the menu?
- A Thanksgiving Feast: Enjoy turkey, ham, and delicious holiday sides provided by HoneyBaked Ham and Second City Gaming.
- Gaming Galore: Jump into free-play gaming on PlayStation 5 Pro, Nintendo Switch 2, and a variety of tabletop and board games.
- Friends, Old & New: Meet fellow gamers, make new connections, and enjoy a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
- Community & Connection: Celebrate the season with people who believe that everyone deserves a place to belong.
Want to bring something?
Friendsgiving is all about sharing! If you're able, we encourage you to bring a favorite side dish, dessert, or holiday treat for everyone to enjoy.
Can't bring anything? No problem whatsoever! Your presence is more than enough. We want everyone to feel welcome, regardless of their circumstances.
Limited to 50 Guests — RSVP Early!
To keep things comfortable and ensure everyone has plenty to eat, we're limiting this gathering to 50 attendees.
Registration is required, and spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you reserve a spot and can no longer attend, please cancel your registration so someone else can join us.
More Than Gaming. We're Building Community.
At Second City Gaming, we believe gaming is about so much more than what's happening on the screen. It's about bringing people together, building meaningful friendships, and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and included.
Gaming is the vehicle. Community is the destination.
Come hungry, come ready to play, and come celebrate the beginning of a new SCG holiday tradition!
