Although street festivals, sporting events, concerts and any number of other major events will take place in Chicago all summer long, this weekend looks to be one of the more eventful on the calendar. So if you plan on being out and about over the next couple days, here’s just a glimpse of what’s going on:
Billed as the largest book fair in the midwest, swing through Chicago’s Printer’s Row neighborhood for an awesome musical and literary event unlike any other. Live performances, discussions, and authors from all over are all part of this year’s event.
One of the more popular street festivals of the summer, the Chicago RibFest is back once again up in North Center. Over 30 local vendors will be serving up the best BBQ in the city, and plenty of live music will be rockin’ all weekend long.
The world’s largest Blues festival is once again coming to Grant Park this weekend, which is not only one of the most attended music festivals to take place in the Windy City but also once of the coolest. If you’ve never been, make it a point to check it out this weekend.
Head on over to Solider Field to check out a this historic soccer event, which will feature Argentina versus Panama on Friday night at 8:30 PM. This will be the first of three matches to happen in Chicago this summer.
