With Chicago being our focus on this blog, why not share some of our favorite Chicago things to do, right? Out of town wedding guests? Exploring the city in your down time before the rehearsal or wedding? Or just simply counting down the weekends till your big day, here’s a look at some awesome events going on in the city this weekend!
Do Division
As the official start of June and #summertimechi, what better way to explore those options than taking a look at one of my favorite street fests, Do Division. Taking place on Division Street, between Damen and Leavitt in West Town, Do Division offers tons of local vendors, food and drink, and of course one of the city’s best fests for live music, brought to you by The Empty Bottle & Subterranean.
