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.
The festival season feels like it s really getting back to normal with the return of Naperville s Ribfest, Taste of Des Plaines, Blues on the Fox in Aurora, Swedish Days in Geneva and the many concerts in the park, art fairs and cruise nights.
Winter s dull grays getting you down? Colorfully scenic rides don t have to wait for spring s splashy palette. More bike routes than I imagined retain an energizing, visual appeal year-round.
