IDEA #7 — FESTIVALS June 1, 2009
Posted by Ms. Klemundt in Uncategorized.trackback
One of the great things about Chicago is that there are hundreds of interesting neighborhoods all over the city plus hundreds of suburbs, each with its own history and flavor. And most of them play host to some kind of festival or event at some point in the summer. These fests can include food, art, music, fashion, dance, crafts, or ethnic celebrations. I’ve listed a few websites to help you plan your calendar of fest-hopping.
- Explore Chicago (http://www.explorechicago.org)
- Illinois Tourism (http://www.enjoyillinois.com)
- Metromix Chicago (http://chicago.metromix.com) Mouseover “Events” on the top horizontal menu bar and then select “Browse by event type.” Choose from the list to see the events in that category.
And if you’ve got wheels or a willing driver, think about attending SummerFest in Milwaukee or one of the nearby county fairs. If you’re a city kid like me, you haven’t lived until you’ve walked through the poultry barn!
