Getting There: Free parking is available on S Farragat Drive. Rainbow Beach Park is accessible by public transit via the #6 and #79 CTA buses. For directions using public transportation visit www.transitchicago.com. Exact meeting point will be shared with registered attendees.

Dress: Please dress in comfortable weather appropriate clothing, layers are recommended as the park is particularly exposed to lakefront winds. Sun protection is necessary in the summer as there is little tree cover.
