Start a new tradition this year – Beersgiving! Here’s how it works:
Beersgiving was founded in 2006 by customers at the Billy Goat Tavern on Washington and Franklin. Here’s the story: http://rvdchicago.blogspot.com/2009/12/beersgiving-not-just-another-made-up.html
On October 9, 2015, Stephen Colbert tempted fate by mocking the Curse of Murphy the Billy Goat. With the Chicago Cubs deep in the playoffs, Colbert performed a skit that showed Billy Goat Sianis and Murphy on The Late Show. He proclaimed that the Cubs will win the World Series and proceeded to eject a poor, innocent baby goat. Within ten days of the incident, Colbert had fallen behind both the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Mr. Colbert should have realized that the Curse has plagued the Cubs for 70 seasons. A goat is good luck. Kicking a goat out of your show is bad luck. This is not the way to start out season 1 of your show.
We’re fans of your show, and we want to help you set this right. Our advice is to let the goat in – permanently. Find a way to include him in your show. Embrace your inner goat. At the very least, give him some season tickets. After all, he was only a kid.
MR COLBERT, LET THE GOAT IN!
Ready to countdown to the holidays? The Magnificent Mile lights parade is the official kick off to the holidays in Chicago. The parade will take place from 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. It steps off from Oak Street and Michigan Avenue and heads south on Michigan to Wacker Drive. The parade will be followed by a Fireworks Spectacular over the Chicago River as part of the grand finale. The fireworks offer a perfect ending to the fun-filled day of holiday activities and events! You can download an events guide PDF here.
After you’ve enjoyed the sights and sounds, come down UNDER Michigan Avenue for the tastes and smells of a delicious Cheezborger, chips and a Coke.

Ohio Governor John Kasich made a campaign stop at Billy Goat Tavern on Michigan Avenue yesterday! Good luck at the debate!!
The Goat has been a favorite campaign stop for politicians for decades. If the Trump campaign decides to host an event with us, we promise to keep our goat away. They’ll eat anything.
