2025 Hootenanny Vol. 5 Fundraiser Party
Thursday, April 17 from 6:30 - 9:30pm
Join us for our annual fundraiser and support your favorite non-profit bike organization! This not-to-be-missed event will be a gathering of Chicago's most-bike-camping-celebrators of the great outdoors. This year we will be back at one of Chicago's finest breweries, Midwest Coast Brewing Company in West Town. And this time, we'll have the bigger second floor event space!
Your Ticket includes:
Tickets are available online only. No tickets will be sold at the door the day of due to capacity of the venue. Kids are free! We plan to sell out so make sure to get your tickets today!
~ The Wild Scallions will be playing some excellent bluegrass music for the night ~
We'll have activities for kids (both young and old), and the raffle will be going all night long as well as a silent raffle.
And if you're wondering about the raffle prizes - you can expect lots of outdoor gear, bike gear, and a great smattering of other prizes from small businesses and community organizations across Chicago.
All proceeds from the night go towards making our 2025 Bike Adventures even more spectacular and inclusive by reaching more people and getting 'em outside on two wheels to soak up the bodacious nature and history outside our front door!

Accessibility and Additional Event Details
Wear What you Want
This is OOFD and this is a brewery. Nothing fancy needed though feel free to look as good as you'd like. We will have access to the patio so if you foresee yourself wanting to hang outside, certainly plan for the weather.
COVID/Illnesses
Masks will not be required but if you prefer to wear one, you certainly are welcome to and will not be judged by anyone in OOFD if you do. If you are feeling ill the day of the event or if you have had COVID and still are within the infectious period, please do stay home.
ADA Accessibility
Midwest Coast is wheelchair accessible and can reasonably accommodate most to all disabilities. Our event is on the second floor, which is also accessible via elevator.
Noise and Crowd
Expect a big crowd! Out Our Front Door has rented the entire, brand new second floor taproom space. The space holds up to 250 people and there will be background music so noise levels will be fairly high. There is a partial retractable roof that we plan to open pending good weather.
Bathrooms
Midwest Coast provides five bathrooms: three all-gender bathrooms on the second floor (where our event is being held), and two gender-specific, male and female, bathrooms on the first floor.
Food and Allergies
We will have catered food with options that meet most dietary needs, including vegetarian and vegan options. There may also be homemade desserts made by wonderful volunteers. We will provide signage for all food to help people with allergies and intolerances safely navigate the food options.
Kids
Kids of all ages are welcome and there will be some activities for the kids during the event.
Pets
Midwest Coast Brewing does welcome pets.
Getting to the Event
Biking is certainly encouraged! That said, the brewery is only a couple blocks from the Damen bus route and the new Damen Green Line stop. The Metra Western Ave Stop (MD-N, MD-W, NCS) is less than a mile away. There also is plentiful street parking near the venue, which is in a former industrial area. There is a Divvy Bike Share station 2 blocks away on Damen and Walnut.
Being Welcoming and Radically Inclusive
Welcoming is OOFD's #1 Core Value. So by attending this event, we ask that you bring a spirit of welcoming to everyone you meet. We want everyone that comes to be and feel supported and included. You can read more about our Radical Inclusivity and Discrimination Statement which we work to hold everyone accountable to at all of our events.
Other Needs?
Do you have other questions about accommodations or have a request for one? Please contact us here and we will try our hardest to make as many accommodations as we can with things that are within our control. Thanks in advance for the input.
