Chicago – Yesterday marked the first day of Chicago’s last summer festival of 2016. Fans from around the city and the world filled into Douglas Park on the city’s South Side, where the green grass was a plenty and mud was nowhere to be found… perhaps this will be the first year we experience a

Chicago – While for most, Labor Day Weekend marks the end of summer, relaxing with a cold one and some barbecue, in Chicago, LDW ushers in North Coast Music Festival, which calls for one last stand in Union Park, having fun and soaking in the sun. Chicagoans party all day and then well into the
