Our Chicago bus trip is a community favorite!

Each year, Danville Tri Kappa packs a charter bus with eager shoppers and sight-seers and heads to the Windy City for a day of escape. Groups of friends and families, mom-and-daughter duos and Tri Kappa sisters enjoy breakfast and a raffle on the way up north, a full day of whatever draws them (Magnificent Mile? Navy Pier? Shedd Aquarium? Something else?), and a movie and snacks on the way home.

Tickets for the 2025 Chicago Bus Trip are ON SALE NOW! Visit this link to sign up.
