Looks like one of the better weekends of the year in the Chicagoland area in regards to events taking place.
The weather is supposed to be "Sunshine and some clouds. High 77F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph, with 50% humidity".
You have to choose TWO TWO TWO TWO TWO (I said TWO 5 times because a lot of you only respond with ONE when I ask for TWO in my 5 questions threads) of the following events to attend for at least 2 hours tomorrow. Which do you choose?
a. Chicago Air & Water Show ("The air show is a free event showcasing daredevil pilots, parachute teams, and formation jet flyers, as well as water-skiing and boat-jumping demonstrations. With its proximity to city beaches and skyline, the show is visible from almost anywhere along the Chicago lakefront.")
b. Chicago Cubs at Chicago White Sox (game start is 6:15pm at Guaranteed Rate Field - NOT Wrigley)
c. The Great American Lobster Fest (at Navy Pier - "Enjoy live lobster flown in fresh from the cold waters off the East Coast, live music performances, unique craft shopping, and cold beverages. We’ll also have plenty of non-seafood and dessert items to please the whole family! All while overlooking gorgeous Lake Michigan and the Chicago Skyline on the Midwest’s largest attraction!")
d. Bud Billiken Parade ("The Bud Billiken® Parade is more than a procession of bands and floats marching down King Drive, it’s a commemoration of our past and a celebration of our future. Every summer since 1929, “The Bud” has united African-Americans throughout the city of Chicago in music, dance, food, and laughter. It’s one of the only spaces where we can openly and emphatically praise the historic roots that plant us into the South Side of Chicago.")
e. Northalsted Market Days ("one of the largest street festivals in the Midwest, welcoming 100,000 people to the streets of Northalsted for a summer celebration of music, food and dance. You can expect a long list of performers across five stages").
f. Printer's Row Art Fest ("This community art fest sets up in Printer's Row, with nearly 100 artists showing off jewelry, paintings, upcycled artworks and more interesting items. When you're done shopping, take a break with a drink or snack and some live music.")
f. Taylor Street Little Italy Festa ("an evening of delicious Italian food and entertainment. Guests will be able to sample dishes from local restaurants, shop a selection of Italian goods, and enjoy acts performing on one of five stages throughout the event".)
g. Retro on Roscoe ("Antique vendors and classic cars fill six blocks of Roscoe Village at this throwback street market, where everything old is new again. The music lineup is usually equally nostalgic, featuring tribute acts that perform hits from the ‘80s and ‘90s.")
h. Metallica (Performing at Soldier Field)
j. Lincoln Park Zoo (It's free to attend)
BONUS You can attend the Navy Pier Fireworks at 10:00pm. Do you attend?
