CHICAGO, IL – March 2025 — In the heart of winter, Freehold partnered with Liquid I.V. to deliver a bright and unexpected brand experience that turned frozen terrain into a full-on flavor escape. Set against the icy backdrop of Maggie Daley Park’s Ice Ribbon, the “Liquid I.V. Lemonade Stand” popped up for a limited-time activation that launched the brand’s new Sugar-Free Raspberry Lemonade Hydration Multiplier.
With bold color, upbeat energy, and a dose of summer nostalgia, the activation invited guests to sip, chill, and recharge at the park’s central loop. From custom Hydration Multiplier-infused snow cones to free-flowing samples and exclusive swag, the experience delivered joy and hydration in equal measure. DJ sets by MAAD kept the energy high, while photo ops, outdoor games, and brand-forward moments made sure guests stayed longer—and remembered it all.
“Liquid I.V. wanted to shake up the season and show up for their audience in a way that was unexpected and full of feel-good moments,” said Ashton Trujillo, Production Director of Freehold. “We embraced that spirit and delivered a playful, elevated brand experience that stood out in the cold.”
With a custom-built lemonade stand, branded winter gear, and high-touch engagement, the Chicago takeover proved that summer is a mindset—and Liquid I.V. can bottle it.
