Girl Talk Happy Hour at Navy Pier

Light Her Way

Lakefront views. Good drinks. Great company – all for a cause that matters.

Girl Talk is taking over the patio at Reunion by Chef Art Smith on the Navy Pier for a summer happy hour you won't want to miss.

We’ll have raffle baskets worth fighting for and our featured cocktail at a discount, the Duck Duck Goose. Come learn about our mission and help light the way for the next generation of women and girls. 

Tabs run individually (gratuity's already built in), and if you want to enjoy a spectacular light show afterwards, Navy Pier fireworks kick off at 10 PM.

Tickets are limited, reserve yours now!

Navigating Imperfections & Diving Deep into Our True Purpose

What Was I Made For?

In a world of pressure, comparison, and perfectionism, many girls begin to question their worth.

At this Girl Talk retreat, high school girls will be invited to slow down and explore a deeper truth: that their value is not found in achievements or approval, but in their inherent dignity.

Through inspiring speakers, reflection, small-group conversations, and creative activities, girls will experience a supportive space to grow in confidence and connection — at their own comfort level.

By the end of the morning, participants will walk away feeling encouraged, grounded, and reminded that they are enough.

As Girl Talk is all about honoring the dignity of women, this session highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting the dignity of our bodies — because understanding ourselves is the first step to thriving in every area of life.

Join us as we celebrate the incredible women of this year’s Girl Talk Institute cohort — a group of ambassadors who chose to invest in themselves, grow in confidence, and deepen their sense of self-worth through the GTI experience.

This ceremony honors their courage, commitment, and personal growth over the past several months. It’s a beautiful moment to pause, celebrate their journey, and recognize the light they bring to our community.
