Chicagoans know how to party.
The city came in second place in a list of top party cities in the country, up one spot from last year, in a report released Tuesday by Evite, a website that lets users create event invitations.
Chicago planned 62,700 events on the platform in 2018, Evite said, a 21.8 percent increase from last year. For those events, 2.4 million people received invitations and 74 percent of hosts said guests could bring someone along, making Chicago one of the most “friendly” cities.
Some of the more popular themes for parties this year were unicorns, florals, fiestas and Paw Patrol, Evite said.
