Parallel Play Pop Up #002 - Milan Mixer
For the next Milan Meetup, we’re taking over Parallel Play - an intimate pop up venue and listening room nestled in-between Chicago's Humboldt Park & Ukrainian Village neighborhoods.
Expect a DIY café + listening party vibe with some of the city’s finest DJs setting the tone, and food & beverage catering that mixes tradition with pleasure.
Between sets and sips, you’ll get fun conversation prompts to skip the awkward small talk and walk away with real connections.
