June Events/Notes

  • Summer in Chicago: this is by far my favorite season when Chicago shows its best. Here are some of my favorite things to do during summer in Chicago.
  • Printer's Row Lit Fest - June 6 & 7, 2009: A bookworm's delight, the Printer's Row Book Fair offers 200 author programs, over 150 new and used book sellers, and a "Kids Alley" offering family activities and entertainment, all within this south Loop neighborhood.
  • Fathers Day - June 21, 2009: There's plenty to do with Dad in the Windy City. Why not treat him to a Cubs game at historic Wrigley Field, or a dinner at one of Chicago's steakhouses? Or the best sounding option for a father of two young ones like myself, stay at a hotel like the Sheridan Hotel Chicago that offers babysitting services and Mom and Dad can slip off by themselves for a romantic Chicago Odyssey cruise on Lake Michigan.
  • Taste of Chicago - June 26 through July 5, 2009: The big daddy of Chicago summer festivals, the Taste of Chicago provides tons of food and great entertainment to over 3 million people each year.
  • Chicago Gay Pride Parade - June 28, 2009: Held the last Sunday of June each year, Chicago's Gay Pride Parade is quite a party and draws a huge crowd.
