Drugs, Drones and Big Lenses: Here's What You CAN'T Take to Chi-Town Rising

By Kelly Bauer | December 31, 2015 10:42am

DOWNTOWN — Leave your booze, drones, chairs and fancy cameras at home — they're not welcome at Chi-Town Rising, the city's brand-new New Year's Eve bash.

Police are warning party-goers about the laundry list of items they can't bring to the Chicago River-front bash.

 

 

Not that they'd be able to bring a lot, anyway: Oversized bags (which means nothing that's bigger than 12-by-12-by-12 inches, no matter the style of bag) are among the banned items, meaning fest-goers will have to pack light.

Here's what's banned from Chi-Town Rising:

• Alcoholic beverages

• Outside food or beverage

• Chairs

• Drones (unmanned aircraft systems)

• Cameras with lenses longer than 3 inches

• Coolers or ice chests

• Fireworks, smoke devices, confetti cannons

• Weapons of any kind

• Laptops, portable speakers or oversized electronics

• Poles to display banners or flags

• Strollers

• Umbrellas

• Illegal drugs

• Laser pointers and devices
