Chicago got a taste of Hollywood over the weekend, as stars made their way to the Windy City for the Lollapalooza music festival, where a slew of acts performed, including Red Hot Chili Peppers, Florence + the Machine, Kaskade and Avicii.

Jenny McCarthy, who has been spending a lot of time there with her Chicago Bears beau Brian Urlacher, skipped the festival itself, but took part in some festivities, sans her man.

Arriving at the Gilt City Better than Backstage rooftop brunch, the Playboy cover girl – clad in a pair of M2F Brand Denims and sky high platform shoes – nibbled on veggies and dip, and took in the skyline.

"She looked very happy and seemed really excited to meet Chicagoans at the party," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.

It may have ended with a downpour – but at this year's Lollapalooza in Chicago, 270,000 music lovers were showered with sets by 140 different artists, including headliners Coldplay, Eminem and the Foo Fighters, who closed down the festival Sunday night.

While the concerts raged in Grant Park, heaps of stars hit the Windy City for parties and events at some of Chicago's hot spots.

• LeAnn Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian stopped by the Express Rocks! Suite at the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago where they picked up some swag – a pair of headphones and a Motorola tablet – at the gifting suite. Says an onlooker: "[They were] very sweet with each other." Meanwhile, Elijah Wood and Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul also swung by the gifting suite.
