Anna: Festivals in Chicago


One of the things I miss the most about living near Chicago is the amount of festivals the city has in the summer season. There are a lot of large parks in the city, and there are music and art festivals happening there almost every weekend. In Union Park and Millennium Park, some of the city's biggest music festivals, North Coast Music Festival, Riot Fest, and the Jazz Festival, are held. Because Chicago has so many different cultures mixed together, the end of summer also has a lot of festivals celebrating Polish, German, Mexican, Ukrainian, and many other countries' heritage. Eating all the different foods and listening to all the traditional music feels like a mini world tour! You can really feel how unique and active the city is. It's definitely one of the best parts of summer.
