‘Last Friday’ Mayan Party Comes to North Side

With the end of the Mayan calendar inching closer, restaurant T.G.I Friday’s is hosting a massive Mayan celebration in Wrigleyville to ring in what could be the last Friday ever.

The Mayan-themed party titled “Last Friday” will take place at the lot right next to Wrigley Field on the corner of Addison Street and Sheffield Avenue. It’s one of just six special-edition parties the restaurant will host in America, with the others in cities like Miami, Los Angeles and Washington D.C.

Friday, Dec. 21 corresponds to the last day of the Mayan calendar, a sign some believe marks the end of the world. So, just in case that’s the last Friday humanity will ever witness, T.G.I. Friday’s is ending the world with a bang.

“DJ Ruckus will get the party started in Chicago while Friday’s world class bartenders shake it up with Mayan Margarita’s, beer, wine and other beverages,” the restaurant said in a statement. “With Mayan-inspired decor to set the mood, guests can indulge in their last meal with shareable signature Friday’s appetizers while enjoying dance music, giveaways, photo booths, and more.”

The Mayan-inspired event is scheduled on Dec. 21 from 5-8 p.m.
