  Get ready to mix, mingle, and maybe even dink a little! CFMA Chicago's Program and Next Gen committees are serving up a summer social you won’t want to miss at Big City Pickle – Fulton Market, Chicago’s go-to pickleball destination.

  Whether you’re a seasoned pickleball pro, just learning what a “kitchen” means (spoiler: it's not where the snacks are), or you'd rather cheer from the sidelines with a beverage in hand—this event has something for everyone.

  Private Pickleball Courts – Jump into some friendly competition
  Food & Open Bar – Because no great rally ever started on an empty stomach
  Networking – Plenty of opportunity to catch up, and make new connections

  No paddle required—we’ve got you covered. Just bring your A-game (or at least your appetite)!
