Earlier this week I posted about some music events happening in the city this time of year. Today I thought I'd share some other interesting, fun and FREE events that's in store for you this summer here in Chicago.
One particular event I always enjoy is Chicago Summer Dance, an eleven week festival held in Grant Park. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening, you can come by for a free group dance lesson by professional dancers. After the lesson, you can dance the evening away with excellent live music, with genres ranging from salsa to polka. Summer Dance started today, the 12th! You can find more information on the Chicago Summer Dance website.
You're going to make sure you get up and move around, because the Taste of Chicago is coming soon, and that means eating a whole lot of food. If you're a Chicago resident, you already know about this event. 65 city restaurants set up tents and you come out and eat. There's scheduled music and usually some random off shoots of diversion. All in all, it's a place to hang out and grab some grub while enjoying the summertime. You can't beat that. Here's the website for more info.
Lastly, one final event for today. The Chicago Outdoor Film Festival. I love movies. I love them even more when they're free and being played outdoors. That's just what the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival delivers. Starting July 15th, every Tuesday a cinematic classic will screen for Chicago residents to enjoy. I really enjoy going. Something about sitting outside with the open air and watching a movie is just great. A warning: screenings get packed. If you're going to go, make sure you go a little early. Check out their website for this year's set of films.
That's all for now, Pretty Boy admirers.
