City Cast Chicago producer Michelle Navarro said it best: July is the Saturday of summer. That means there’s no shortage of things to do, people to see, and places to be.
Fireworks Are Already Here
Illinois outlaws most commercial fireworks, but that doesn’t stop a lot of folks from bringing them across state lines. Looking for an official show? There’s always Navy Pier, the suburbs, and games for the Fire FC and Dogs. If you’re not into fireworks, try to block the noise.
Big Month for Sports
NASCAR weekend is upon us: You can still score tickets or celebrate at events across the city leading up to the two-day race downtown. Plus, who else is pumped for the Olympics when they start July 26? Stay tuned for the local athletes to root for and watch parties to attend.
Even More Festivals
Festival season is alive and well in Chicago this month between Wicker Park Fest, Chinatown Summer Fair, Tacos y Tamales, Pitchfork, and more. That’s why we’re reminding you to check bag policies, wear sunscreen, and look at festival maps ahead of time.
Welcome to Peak Moving Season
Whether you are getting ready to sign a new lease or already packing the moving truck, review your rights as a renter. The big piece of advice from one tenant rights advocate? Document everything and negotiate.
