Festival Season!!!!

One of the greatest attractions during summer time in Chicago is the variety of festivals happening all over town. Whether they are happening on the suburbans or on the traditional neighborhoods of Chicago, you should not miss the opportunity to check on them.
There are many types of festivals in Chicago, including music, food or movies. You may have heard about some of them, like the music festival Lollapalooza.
So here comes a list of some of the attractions upcoming this month, and also some websites that you should check about the directions and more information about price or just transportation.
For this weekend we recommend A Tate of Randolph Street, in Downtown. It's recommend a donation of U$10.00, and you could drink, eat and listen to live music.
