This event promises a day of music, making it a great way to spend your afternoon. Alternatively, if you're a fan of rock music, Queens of the Stone Age will be performing at the Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island, providing an energetic and memorable night out.

For art enthusiasts, Chicago has several exciting events. The 57th Street Art Fair, held on June 7-8, is a 78-year-old tradition that brings together over 150 artists in Hyde Park. Here, you can browse and purchase artwork, enjoy food from food trucks, and participate in various children’s activities.

This fair includes painting classes, a kids’ art zone, and other interactive activities.

Sports fans have plenty to look forward to as well. The Sox Crawl: Taste of the Sox on June 7 allows you to explore Guaranteed Rate Field, the home of the Chicago White Sox, with food and drink specials, music, and autograph signings with former players like Jack McDowell.

Outdoor adventures are plentiful in Chicago. Take a 1.5-hour guided architecture cruise on the Chicago River to explore the city's iconic skyline and learn about its architectural history.
