The Monday holiday means the celebration can spread over the whole weekend, and suburban festivals and musicians are taking advantage of that. Here s where to pull up a seat and enjoy some music outdoors.
So many suburban festivals and so little time. Plan out a full slate of fun this weekend from Swedish Days to Naperville Fine Art Fair to Wauconda Fest to Taste of Highland Park to Palatine Jaycees Hometown Fest to Arlington Heights Frontier Days and more.
