The AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour is stopping by North Ave. Beach this weekend for the Chicago Open presented by McDonald's. Play starts today and runs through Sunday.

Over 150 of the sport's top athletes will be competing, including Athens gold medal winners Misty May & Kerri Walsh; Athens bronze medallists Holly McPeak & Elaine Youngs; and three-time Olympic Gold Medallist Karch Kiraly.

Admission is free today and tomorrow, $10 general admission on Saturday and Sunday.

Chicagoist has been a fixture on North Ave. Beach's volleyball courts 2-3 times a week this summer, so we totally know we could beat the pros.

Chicagoist also thinks we could drink them under the table. Following Saturday's action, have a few drinks with some of the AVP players! There's a happy hour at Duffy's from 8:30 - 11:30pm. $20 gets you food and drinks!
